Brief Answer:
Can be due to low lying placenta or dry vagina.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild orange discharge on wiping can be due to local infection in the vagina or a mild spotting due to a low lying placenta. Excessive exertion or inadequate rest can also cause such mild blood stained discharge. It is best to get an ultrasound scan and vaginal swab culture and urine routine test done to rule out any infections and to know the baby's well being.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
