Brownish spotting/discharge after having a vagina swab?

Hi there mumsnetters,

I am freaking out. I had a swab today and I told the midwife I usually have a lot of dampness in my underwear and she came in with me to the toilet to have a look and said yeah it does seem quite wet. So she sent me to triage to get those test thing done where they do a vagina swab and test to see whether it's my waters broke or just discharge. It felt very uncomfortable when I had it done and they did say I was very tight. After a few hours it was like a uncomfortable stinging sensation in my vagina and also just a while ago I went to pee and saw brownish spotting on different parts of my underwear. Is this normal?? Please advice as I am really worried. X

Because you are accessing midwifery care, suggests you may be pregnant, so can you ring them and ask them this morning?

I'm so sorry, I totally forgot to mention I'm 34 weeks pregnant! I called the maternity helpline yesterday and they were saying that it's common what I had mentioned. That put me in a bit of relief. Thank you so much for your response though x
