Hi..
Thanks for choosing HCM..
Cervical dilatation with brown discharge indicates onset of labour..
If you are first time pregnant you need to consult the doctor for further evaluation and for admission if required..
The labour pains do get severe as the labour progresses..
Let your doctor decide the course of action..
All the best..Take care..
