Pregnant Had Intercourse. Brownish Discharge. Is Everything Normal?

Hi, I am about 7 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend and I had sex early yesterday afternoon , today when I went to the bathroom I noticed I had brown discharge... I am not cramping nor do I feel any itching or burning. Is this normal? What is the cause of this, how long will it last ? I hope u can be of assistance to this question.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
No this cannot be taken as normal. This can be a sign of threatened or missed miscarriage.
This is quite reassuring that you don't have any pain. Please have an ultrasound, preferably trans-vaginal to see that your baby's heart beat is OK. You should avoid exertion & sex till this settles. No one can predict how long this will take.
Hope this answers your query. Hope you are having antenatal check ups & taking folic acid supplements.
Wish you good health & a healthy outcome.
Best regards.
