What Does Brown Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy Indicate?

Hi, I am a 30 year old female and am just over 5 weeks pregnant. I started to have a brown discharge after going to the bathroom 4 days ago. The appearence varies from light to medium but never heavy. It is not all the time and to be honest I thought it was getting lighter and less frequent but seems to have slightly increased again today. I am very concerned as I had a miscarriage in January and fear that I might be about to have the same. I have no abdominal cramps. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the brown discharge in pregnancy need to be evaluated.It is caused by thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency,excess physical strain etc.Dont worry.With apt treatment it will subside.Avoid physical strain and intercourse.Ultrasound might help in knowing the status of pregnancy.Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
