Hi all,

As per the title, I’m 17 weeks pregnant and had some old blood when I wiped with toilet roll earlier today. I’ve wiped a few more times and it’s just brown coloured mucous now.

Has anyone else had this so late on / in the second trimester?
I called the midwife helpline and they said as long as it’s not bright red and no cramping then I should rest. I have a bit of abdominal ache but I’ve put that down to growing/stretching….

Any advice or experiences welcome!
