I missed my periods by 5 days or so and I'm expecting that I'm pregnant. But I feel cramps same as the ones I feel when I have periods. And feel dizziness mostly in the morning and my stomach seems to be bloated.. 2-3 days back around the expected date of my periods I felt a light brownish discharge from the vagina so I thought that might be because of periods but now 5 days have past... if by any case I'm pregnant is this a indication of problematic pregnancy or miscarriage?
Please help I'm tensed..
I already have one child who is 4 yrs old

Regards
Amy

Hi Amy,

It's possible that you are pregnant. Some women will feel symptoms very early on. The light brown discharge may have been due to implantation, which most women won't notice but happens more than many people realize. Many times, when it is seen, it is mistaken for an off period, or, as you suspect, a period about to start. Of course, it may be just that; a period about to start soon. Give it several more days, and if you still don't have a period, try a pregnancy test or see your doctor for a test there.
