is it normal to be spotting?

I'm 11 weeks and this morning I noticed some light spotting? What does that mean? :(

I was told by my dr that brown blood is old blood. I bled light brownish/pink on and off for 2 weeks between my 11th and 13th weeks. I didnt have any cramps, but I went to the dr anyways just for peace of mind. They checked the heartbeat and made sure my cervix was closed. Bleeding isnt normal in early pregnancy, but its very common, and if its just "normal for you" it will more than likely not happen once you hit your second trimester.  As long as its not bright red and isnt accompanied by cramps than I would not worry so much about it. However, I know from experience only a dr can really give you that peace of mind that you want. Good luck, Im sure your peanut is just fine!
