It can be: You are obviously very early in your pregnancy. Light brown discharge can be normal. It is also possible that you are miscarrying the pregnancy. The problem is if you are miscarrying, there is nothing that can be done. Stay hydrated, rest, and if you feel worse, seek care with your physician.
