Brown discharge at 26 weeks

[Bozo_the_pumpkin]

Hi everyone. I’ll be calling my midwife later but to stay the panic I wondered if anyone experiences some brown discharge at this stage of pregnancy? No pain and I can feel baby moving but a bit concerned.

Thanks

Sorry cant help.. but hope everything is ok Bozo ❤️ I'm sure all fine. Glad no pain and you can feel baby xxx

I hope someone will respond with their experience. I had it at first trimester due to irritation of cervix. I am not sure if it can also happen later on. I hope your midwife will give you some reassurance soon.

Thanks Shireen, yes it’s the same for me-irritation of cervix….

Yep, from when I came off FET meds and pretty much throughout. See some of my replies to similar queries as people may be fed up of reading about my experience of this In a nutshell, it seems there are loads of reasons for it and it's more common early on but some women get it later or all the time. I would still get it checked (and double checked) as otherwise the worrying will drive you mad. If it goes heavier or red, or you get pain, reduced movements etc, call triage x

Thank you… yes I remember your posts but I thought it was more spotting than discharge? Your posts helped me a lot earlier on when I was spotting quite a lot and losing my mind with worry 😊Does spotting discharge pretty much amount to the same thing? This time around it is not the dark brown colour it was before… mate caramel coloured (sorry TMI)

Anyway, the midwife said it does not sound like anything sinister.. just to monitor and if it becomes more and painful or red to get in touch immediately… also might be related to bedroom hanky panky activities 😳😊

I think so - I went through so many different iterations I just called them all spotting unless they were heavy, so light brown discharge, early period like spotting, bright red... Then recently I had the delightful experience of neon orange! (at least that made for new Google searches...) By the later stages and because I'd had confirmation from colposcopies that it was definitely from the cervix, I just put it all down to that but like you was ready to get it checked out if anything changed drastically.

Sounds like you've had some reassurance which is great. I am very impressed with the bedroom hanky panky btw, sure it's all good for maintaining your happy hormones

I had bright red blood last week at 29 weeks was sooooo scared!!!Went to the l&d and they monitored me and the baby and everything turned out to be fine!

And I didn't see blood after that day.

Jana… that sounds very scary and I would have freaked out! I am glad it turned out ok. Thank you sharing
