What Causes Brown Spotting And Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy?
Hi I'm 19 (very close to 20) and I'm 35 weeks pregnant,
Over the last three days I have experienced a few drops of brown and pink blood in my underwear, lots of lower abdomen pain and hip pain,
I went to the hospital to get it checked and he said it was fine and the baby was fine,
But there was a few drops again today,
What dose that actualy mean?

Do not worry .
A small amount of bleeding late in pregnancy is common. A blood stained discharge is a sign that your body is preparing for labor. Remember that most women who have this symptom continue to have a normal and healthy pregnancy.
But if a heavy bleeding occurs at this stage, it could be the sign of a serious problem.
If you are experiencing heavy bleeding, use a pad to monitor your bleeding. Call your doctor if you experience severe symptoms like high fever, dizziness or fainting.
So follow my advice according to your condition.
Stay healthy. All the best. Take care.
