Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Has your ultrasound scan been done ?
Please upload the report.
Also, slight brownish discharge is alright as long as the scan is normal, and the baby's heartbeat is fine.
Continue taking progesterone ( Gestin ) , take adequate rest.
Avoid any kind of stress and intercourse.
To provide you with a more definitive answer, I need the ultrasound scan report.
Please do write back soon.
Take care.
