mjkbrown,
Brown/dark discharge is just old blood that the body is just trying to get rid of. Unless it lasts for an extended amount of time, or is also accompanied by a foul odor, it is quite normal and nothing to be concerned about. Cramping and even spotting are completely normal throughout pregnancy. If however cramping and bleeding become severe, this is something you need to mention to your doctor immediately.
