Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy?
I am 37.5 weeks pregnant. Last Thursday I was 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. I am a first time mom. And today I had a lot of mucus with streaks of Brown blood in it. And there s a lot. I was wondering what this could be? I ve been having contractions, and awful back pain all day as well. Thank you
I would like to tell you that you are in labour. Brown vaginal discharge along with frequent contractions and back pain all indicate that you are having labor.
Since, you were 70 percent effaced and 2 cm dilated, it must be almost time for your time of delivery. I would advise you to go to your gynaecologist as soon as possible for safe delivery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Nazma Amman
