Hello Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion there are various causes for bleeding or spotting or brown discharge during pregnancy like :-
1)Thyroid abnormalities .
2)Progesterone insufficiency.
3)Abnormal pregnancy like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
4)Bleeding from cervix.
etc.

So all the above causes should be ruled out by physical examination and necessary investigations.

The brown discharge is due to blood admixed with mucus.

Iam happy to know that the ultrasound is normal and all the possible causes have ruled out.

Don't worry in some cases even though with the presence of brown discharge everything will be normal and pregnancy continues till term and have good outcome.

Relax.Avoid physical stress and intercourse.

Take folic acid and progesterone supplements.

It might not be able to tell definitely for how much time the bleeding might persist.

But as such nothing to worry.
It will subside spontaneously.

Passing of blood with hard stools might be due to anal fissure or piles.

So prevent constipation by taking 3 litres of fluids per day,high fibre diet and laxatives if needed.

Once the constipation is treated the bleeding in motion decreases.

Constipation is a common complaint seen in pregnancy.

So avoid stress and relax.

Hope this helps .
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
