Brief Answer:
Visit your gynaecologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is not a good sign to have such a discharge in early pregnancy.
It can be a sign of early abortion or just implantation bleeding.
Though implantation bleeding is a normal thing but since it cannot be differentiated from that of abortion it should be taken seriously.
Take full bed rest with no exertion and not even intercourse. Till then visit your gynaecologist for examination and various baseline tests.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Manisha
