Possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.

Yes, sometimes a brownish discharge can be a sign of early labor. She needs to let her obstetrician know about this finding because they may want to have her come in for an exam and some testing.

Make sure she is drinking plenty of water and have her return to the hospital for any further contractions. Contact the doctor today and let them know about the discharge.

Regards,
Dr. Robinson
