What Causes Brown Discharge During Pregnancy?

hi, i am 9 1/2 weeks pregnant and have been having a brown discharge everyday for nearly the last 3 weeks. most of the symptoms i was havin are dying down now too, apart from bein very tired. just want some reassurance that this is ok or should i be concerned. i spoke to a doctor after only a few days of bleeding and she said it was normal - but for 3 weeks?

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

15% of women bleed during the first trimester pregnancy. So there is a possibility that everything is completely fine and normal for your pregnancy. However, if you have not yet had an ultrasound to confirm that the pregnancy is developing normally and that the fetus has a heartbeat, I suggest you do so because vaginal bleeding can be a symptom of an abnormal pregnancy or impending miscarriage. However if you've had a recent ultrasound examination showed that the fetus was doing fine white vaginally bleeding usually will resolve itself by the end of the first trimester (12 weeks).

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes and good luck with the pregnancy, Dr. Brown
