The appearance of brown discharge at any stage of pregnancy is a reason to be wary. At the first signs of smearing brown discharge, the expectant mother should consult a doctor.
Instructions
Step 1
Brown discharge while waiting for the baby is an alarming sign. In most cases, they say that something threatens the well-being of the mother and child. At the first appearance of red or brown discharge, it is necessary to urgently see a doctor in order to undergo an examination and identify the causes of the frightening symptoms. Timely diagnosis can help maintain pregnancy and prevent a threat to the baby's health.
Step 2
In rare cases, bleeding is the norm. In particular, a woman can find minor spotting on underwear in the first days after conception, when a fertilized egg is attached to the endometrium in the uterine cavity. Such discharge is called implantation bleeding; they do not pose any danger to the mother and the unborn baby.
Step 3
If brown discharge appears in the middle or at the end of the first trimester, there is a high probability of spontaneous abortion. Spotting spotting almost always indicates a threat of miscarriage, which most often occurs between 4 and 12 weeks. In addition, spotting in the first trimester can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, a condition that poses a direct threat to a woman's life. Timely diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy is very important: if you do not interrupt it in time, a rupture of the fallopian tube will occur, where the embryo is entrenched.
Step 4
Brown discharge in late pregnancy is no less dangerous. In the second and third trimesters, they signal serious violations in the development of the fetus. Also, as a result of various unfavorable factors, a woman in a later period may experience a miscarriage, accompanied by bleeding. If a woman has cervical erosion or an infectious disease of the reproductive system, she may also have pathological discharge at any time.
Step 5
Another reason for the appearance of brown discharge in late pregnancy is previa or placental abruption. Placental pathologies are extremely dangerous, they threaten the life and health of the fetus. Disruption of the functioning of the placenta leads to oxygen starvation and irreversible disturbances in the functioning of the baby's central nervous system.
Step 6
Particularly noteworthy are thick, mucous discharge with streaks of blood shortly before the planned date of birth. A brownish or beige mucous clot is a protective plug that closed the entrance to the uterus during pregnancy. Shortly before delivery, the mucous plug softens and comes out. Such discharge is a normal phenomenon, they are one of the main harbingers of imminent birth.
