Normal in pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Akshatha,

Thanks for posting the query,

Light brown discharge is common in pregnancy. If the discharge is more, causing itching or having foul smell then you should be concerned.

If it is only light discharge with out any of these complaints then you can consult the gynaecologist.

Any issue do follow up.

Take care
