Are Blood Streaked Discharge And Constipation Normal During Pregnancy?

Hi there, I found out I am pregnant using a home pregnancy test. My last period was dec 22nd, 2011 so I am about 5 weeks along. I have been having cramping and lower back soreness for the last couple of days that comes and goes. It worse at night and when I lie down. This morning I had a small amountof blood-streaked discharge after using the bathroom. Is this normal? Also I am a bit constipated if that affects anything. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. I am also very nauseous.
