right..... i have been part of early pregnancy unit due to slight bleeding during my 6th week. im now at my 8 week stage and last night started having slight cramping. nothing bad or that i need to worry about. but this morning i went for a wee and when i looked down my toilet my wee was completely brown. with tiny brown bitty discharge when i wiped. this has happened twice this morning (2nd not as much as 1st) i am in middle of getting rid of a kidney infection. can anyone help me? had scan friday and everything was fine, heartbeat was nice and strong and i have a wriggler, but being my 1st pregnancy i am a worrier. x

Due to a kidney infection I would think your urine would be dark due to the infection and antibiotics.

Are u drinking at least two litres of water a day if not u really must try!

U will get increased discharge in pregnancy, the fact that its brown is either a bit of old blood in it or the colour of your wee on the tissue as u wipe!

I would finish your antibiotics then go to our gp ad ask for a urine test so they can make sure there is no unusual levels of protein and ketones or sign of infection.

Ask away that's what this foum is for

Good luck x

thank you. i am trying to drink as much water as possible. i have the bad sicky feeling to go with the pregnancy so im sipping away constantly. cannot guarantee im drinking 2 litres though :/ i know ive had a scan and HB was fine but it worries me as a few days have been since then and now this is happening. i just hope its my body clearing out the infection x

I had a bleed / dark brown blood last week I was in a right state worrying that something had happened. So I went to a private hospital and got a scan and all was fine!! I was told it was more than likely old blood this continued for about four days now my discharge is all clear. Sometimes there's never an explanation for these things. Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy x x

i had this slightly 2 weeks ago. but it was literally all my wee this morning which scared me a little. and the niggles im getting in my belly dont help. ive emailed the early pregnancy unit as i work within the hospital anyway. so fingers crossed the nurse gets back to me. xx

woke up at 4am this morning for a wee. toilet was bright red. :( i was so worried. i dont know if it looks more as it was in the toilet. and it was like tiny fleshy bits in it. i got small niggles in my belly but thought thats part of pregnancy. anyway, been to toilet since and it was perfectly normal. but i can feel something in my knickers now. im on my way up to EPAU for a scan. Wish my luck x

Hi i hope everything is ok for you. With my first 2 pregnancies i had bleeding around week 11-13, this was caused by a water infection. My first pregnancy i knew i had a water infection but my 2nd pregnancy i started to bleed but didn't have the common signs of a uti. I know it is very scary. It was 2 weeks before i found the cause of the bleed. I did have a scan at the beginning of he bleed so was told everything was fine but it is hard not to worry. I know have 2 healthy children ages 2 & 7 years. Currently 29+6 with my third and had a slight uti at beginning of but luckily no bleeding this time. Good luck for your scan, i hope everything turns out good for you xx
