What Causes Brown Vaginal Spotting During First Trimester Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 23 years old, i have a healthy 4 year old girl with no problems and a healthy 7 month old boy with no problems. Never had a miscarriage or any prior pregnancy abnormalities. Im 15 weeks pregnant and all has been fine but yesterday night i started having brownish spotting. I woke up today and all was back to normal. All the sudden in the evening i had a red color with a couple darker red strands now and has been light bleeding. no abdominal pain or discomfort that ive noticed. its been like that all night. I am on my second pad and am about to get some sleep. Should i be alarmed? If so,, what is happening?

It is mostly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxy after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching. You can take fole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into the vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain the hygiene of private part by regular washing or use v-wash vaginal gel.
