I am 6 weeks, 5 days along and am experiencing the laundry list of typical first trimester symptoms - nausea, headache, extreme fatigue. Yesterday I noticed that my discharge had a very light brownish tinge to it, and I could feel what I'd describe as a pinching sensation in my cervix. Today I have the same light brownish discharge and feel more of a light burning sensation. I contacted the midwife on call last night and she told me to simply monitor it and contact them on Monday if it continues. I am not experiencing cramping. I did have some spotting during the first trimester of my last pregnancy, and was told by the midwife that since it was brown, it meant it was "old" and not new material being shed.
