What Causes Brown Discharge During 26 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
I am 26.5 weeks preganant with my 4th one and am experianceing brown discharge and some off and on cramping on the left side of my pelvis. Yesterday I had left leg pain and hip pain. I have a giagantic vericose vein on my left leg also. I was in the hospital a few weeks ago with contractions, and was given vistral and sent home. my 1st was 2 weeks early, 2nd 8.5 weeks early and my 3rd 4 weeks early. is this nothing?? or should I be concerned. The cramping is not comming at regular intervals it is very speratic. I have had only a few contractions in the last couple days 3-4 per day but the have been strong and make me feel like my cervix is in a clamp hold. hope thats descriptive enough.

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Preterm cramping and spotting , with a history of preterm labour earlier, can be indicative of preterm labour. Other causes of spotting at this gestation are low lying placenta and retroplacental hematoma.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including ultrasound and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
