I'd be inclined to speak with your midwife or GP.
Some ladies do get a lot of spotting, but if its anything other than brown blood it needs to be checked out.

It could be something as simple as you losing a collection of old blood, or a cervical errosion, but if its pink, or red, or clotty, or there is cramping, then its a good idea to get some advice.

What colour is it? If it's dark brown then it's most likely old blood and nothing to worry about. Have you got any associated pain with the spotting?
When I had a m/c I had pinkish blood to begin with then it turned to proper heavy red blood.

How far gone are you? It's most likely just a little residual old blood that's coming out. A lot of women can get bleeds in pregnancy and still go on to have a healthy baby.

If in doubt go have a chat to your midwife hun.

its pinky brown colour ...& only seem to get it after passing urine. well thats when i seem to notice it as it never really falls onto my pants.

I don't have any pain & have been feeling sick the past few days.

It was 4 days from spotting to the start of the m/c.

It's a good sign that you're not getting any pain and it's only really light. Keeping it all x'd that all will be well
