Spotting?

Shelbi • TTC #1, stepmom to a 👧🏼

I’m not sure if I’m having spotting. I’ve been having cramps and nausea all week and my period is two days away, however, I went to the restroom today and had a small amount of what appeared to be light brown stain in my underwear. Would that be considered spotting? All my usual symptoms of my period haven’t shown up either like they normally do.
