Hi,

If there is only a brownish discharge and no bleeding or water leakage, you need not worry. If you have already started perceiving fetal movements (usually begins by 5th month), just keep watching the number of movements perceived and any progressive increase in discharge.

You have to see your doctor in case the discharge increases, water leaks out, bleeding ensues, abdominal pain or a decreased number of movements perceived than usual.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
