It is really so unusual to have some slight bleeding during a pregnancy, but it really bears watching.
Slightly reddish/brownish isn't as much of a concern as bright red blood. Another thing to watch is the amount. Are you mostly spotting or is it more like a period?
If you start having cramps or other types of abdominal pain or start bleeding heavily, I would go to the emergency room. If you just continue to have small amount of blood, I would take it easy. Lay around, no lifting and no prolonged standing. Call you obstetrician tomorrow and tell them, find out what their guideline are for you to go to the ER in case your bleeding changes over the weekend.
Both of my daughters experienced bleeding during their pregnancies and delivered full term, healthy babies, but do take care.

No bleeding in pregnancy is "normal" despite what you may read on here, go to hospital straight away and get checked out, it may be nothing but may be something! try and get a ultrasound to be sure all is well.
