Brief Answer:
Brown spotting at 6 weeks pregnancy is normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar and I will help you. I have carefully examined your question and being your personal doctor, I will assist you in all these matters.
Look, at 6 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy, we have certain changes occurring in the woman's body. The neck of the womb is called the cervix, and at this junction we have the formation of a mucus plug. Thus, due to this and other changes, it is rather normal for brown spotting to occur in 6 week pregnant women and is no sign of any problem or issue.
I am pretty sure of this, and that it is a normal phenomena that occurs in pregnant women, like morning sickness, for example.
There is no disease, nothing serious. It's OK.
Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
