Question : hi im wondering if light brownish vaginal discharge is normal at 6 weeks pregnant?
Brief Answer:
a very small amount of old blood can sometimes be okay
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Brown vaginal discharge is likely a small amount of old blood.
It can be normal to see a small amount of blood in early pregnancy. If it increases or persists or it is associated with abdominal cramps then you should be seen.
Assessment would involve gentle physical examination and likely imaging such as ultrasound.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
