What Causes Brown Discharge And Light Bleeding During Pregnancy?

Hi I am 6 weeks pregnant. I m getting brown discharge nd sometimes watery red bleeding. I consulted doctor two days back. She said I am conceive only i was referred to have an injection to stop bleeding even she gave a tablet. I have to go for an injection next week too. Then in 8 week I will be having scan. In the previous scan when I was bleeding the fetal pole and yolk sac was visible but cardiac activity was not visualised the scan was made in 5 nd half weeks. The doctor referred me to have complete bed rest. Now I m tensed that whether my baby is safe or not. This is my first pregnancy and I need my baby. .

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Vaginal bleeding or discharge like the way you are experiencing that occurs in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy is known as threatened abortion. It could indicate that a miscarriage is possible and hence needs to be attended with care.
Kindly follow the medications and rest as advised by your doctor strictly, which would help to retain and progress pregnancy. In addition, do not worry unnecessarily and keep yourself well hydrated by good amount of fluid intake. Avoid strenuous physical activity.
Appearance of fetal pole and yolk sac is a good indicator and cardiac activity will appear by 6 weeks and is generally picked up by 8 weeks of gestation during the scan.
Kindly have patience and wait till the next scan by another couple of weeks to pick up the cardiac activity and know about the progress of pregnancy.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
