Pregnant Having Brownish Discharge, Good Foetal Movement. Suggestion?
Hi, I am 29wks and 2 days. Have have brownish gold discharge for the past 3 days off and on. Fetal movement is very good. More than 10 movements in less than and hour. No cramping or pain other than braxton hicks very low. Notice the discharge after doing any kind of bending, reaching or lifting activity. Should I call OB now or wait until office hours tomorrow?
Hello
Thank you for your query.
You should if possible go to the ER.
Sometimes, leaking of the amniotic fluid presents in this way.
If you can differentiate it from normal vaginal discharge by yourself, well and good.
But its always better to have an opinion.
ALso, normal vaginal discharge would not increase after activity.
Also it would be whitish and mucoid, while amniotic fluid is generally clear and watery.
It is better to consult the ER to reassure yourself.
take care.
