The secretion of this shade can be either normal or a dangerous deviation. It all depends on the duration and accompanying symptoms.
So, in the first weeks of a baby’s life, the brown tint of the discharge can come from a small secretion of blood, which is a permissible physiological process. However, if the secretions are brown for a long time, regardless of the stage of pregnancy, urgently contact the antenatal clinic, this may be:
• a sign of ectopic pregnancy;
• threat of miscarriage due to detachment of the ovum;
• threat of frozen pregnancy;
• placental abruption;
• low location of the placenta and disruption of its functionality;
• cervical erosion.
The latter is the best of all evils in case of pregnancy, so do not get upset ahead of time, but wait for the results of the examination.
Yellowish-brown secretion at any stage of pregnancy may indicate the presence of a bacterial disease. In any case, you cannot do without a smear for microflora and bacterial culture.
But if you notice brownish tints after 38 weeks, exhale and calmly get ready for the maternity ward.
