TMI pictures attached. Is this normal discharge during pregnancy?

[charlieshayes]

My wife is 7w3d and has been having brown spotting when wiping on and off for 3 days. Yesterday - it became light pink which went after one wipe, today there have been some small brown bits of jelly.

We called out of hours GP who says this is normal and to only call back if she begins to bleed with fresh/period like blood or pass any large clots - size of 50p.

She also has a pulling type pain with lower back pain.

We are worried and will try and get an appointment with GP tomorrow anyway but we are worried sick.

These pictures are TMI, is this normal? Should we be worried?
Any info is appreciated.

As others have said spotting/bleeding is really common during pregnancy and it isn't always bad news. I've had some bleeding every time I've been pregnant. Pain is reasonably common too, I think a combination of hormones and relaxing muscles/ligaments can give a cramping/pulling/aching feeling. I spent most of the first trimester feeling like I was about to get my period which was so unnerving the first time, but less so when I knew what to expect this time round.

I hope you get good news at the EPU. The waiting is almost unbearable, just take it an hour at a time.

I've had brown discharge in both pregnancies. Brown is an indication of old blood. To be honest have never got to the bottom of why I'm prone to it! My gorgeous toddler is asleep upstairs and my last scan showed everything was OK. Although I must confess to still worrying.

Get it checked out, more than likely nothing to worry about at all.

Good luck

Hope all goes well today OP

I hope you got some answers today.

@charlieshayes hope all goes for your partner & baby and you managed to get reassurance from medics. It must be a stressful time for you all.

But trust me comments like this will not do you any favours" It's not as easy as having sex when ovulating as it with most heterosexual couples" Yip, that's really easy over 2 years trying every single month. Not heartbreaking or upsetting or stressful at all
