Brown spotting or normal discharge?

Hi, I’m 5 weeks pregnant. For the past two weeks, my discharge on the panty liner has looked like it does in the pictures. It is slightly beige, sometimes leaning towards brown. Is this spotting or normal pregnancy discharge? It started about 10 days after ovulation and has been ongoing. This is my second pregnancy. In my first one, I don’t remember my panty liners looking like this—they were much cleaner. Is this spotting? Toilet paper is always clean. I have mild abdominal pain, but not every day. Is this normal?

I think this isn’t anything to worry about. I’ve read you can also get spotting that’s a bit darker. Something you do need to worry about is more fresh looking red blood, and in higher quantities. (I’m no expert though). I also had mild abdominal discomfort on and off for a few weeks (I’m now at 10 weeks and still have them). Again, I think it’s normal unless it feels severely painful.
