What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy?
Hi I m into my 3rd trimester of my 2nd pregnancy....I have marginal placenta previa and have started noticing some cramping in the abdomonal area plus a brownish-clear mucus in the toilet and in my underwear. Should I be going to the hospital or...am I worrying too soon? Please respond. Thank you. - Tammy

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the brownish discharge along with abdominal cramps mostly suggest labour pains.But to confirm a physical examinationis needed to check for any cervical changes.Usually there is painless fresh bleeding in case of placenta praevia.So I suggest you to consult doctor and get examination done.Nothing to worry.Observe your fetal movements.Avoid physical stress and take good rest.
Best regards...
