Worried.. 6 weeks pregnant with brown discharge

[Kirst96]

First time Mum to be so completely new to all this.. have experienced a brown/pink discharge when wiping twice today.. Everything has been completely normal until this morning. No cramping just a small stitch like feeling on left side of body and usual sickness and headaches. Just looking for some advice on what I should do and if anyone else has experienced this. Thankyou

Hi there. I've had a lot of this in my first trimester and searched the internet high and low. I called the EPU and went in for a scan for reassurance. I'm now 11+5 and am still having spotting. Last scan was Thursday and everything was OK.

This isn't a big deal. Just try not to worry.

Thankyou for replying really put my mind at rest thinking if it carries on will do that and congratulations and best of luck with your little one x

It may or may not be a miscarriage. I am 40+1 and had spotting / brown discharge around 6/7 for a few days. I was convinced it was a miscarriage as I'd previously had spotting and brown discharge at 6/7 weeks in first pregnancy which was a miscarriage. There's nothing you can do at this point, it's just a waiting game. Maybe call EPU?

I had this and the stitch pain at 6 weeks, now 34 weeks and all good. Try not to worry but call the EPU if it helps to put your mind at rest, or even book a private scan. We had this at 8 weeks and I found it reassuring. Hope all goes well for you.

With DC1 I had spotting for just one day at 6 weeks and I was really worried, but everything was fine.

Exactly the same thing happened to me at 6 weeks, quite common. Brown blood is old blood and nothing to worry about.

(Mine then went red and was a haematoma, still alright, but that is a bit more serious! Lots and lots of bright red blood )

Brown blood is nothing to worry about at all.

TRY not to worry
