Is Brown Spotting, During 9th Week Of Pregnancy Normal To Occur?

Hi, I am 9.5 weeks pregnant now. I have had spotting (brownish color) a couple of weeks ago for 5-6 days and then it stopped. Yesterday and day before I had similar spotting (very little) I do not have any pain in my abdomen. I am taking folic acid 5mg tablets from the last 26 days prescribed by the Doctor.I did not go for any ultrasound yet. Please advise if my condition is normal?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.No its not normal to have spotting for 5-6 days during 9.5weeks.
2.The most possible suspicion with this symptoms are missed abortion.
3.Some times with out abdominal pain - only with spotting can also cause missed abortion.
4.You need to get an immediate appointment with your doctor and get an ultrasound scan done - for the fatal well being and gestational sac and the fluid content, fetal heart rate.
5.Suggest do not delay and do the needful before it gets complicated.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
