Brown Discharge

[Hotspur]

Hi Ladies,
I'm about 13 weeks along. I had a slight dark brown discharge on friday. It was very small along with a very clear mucus when I wiped. Is this normal? I had that with my first but not that early. The doc said as long as there's no red or pink in it, I'm fine but I'm kind of scared to go back to working out. I was thinking of waiting until I get a check-up and an ok from my doc in a week and a half. What do you think? I worked out to Cathe and Keli with no problem until fri before I was about to work out.


Thanks for your input!

I had brown discharge around 7 weeks. I was told that if it is brown, then it is OLD blood & nothing to worry about. I was told to take it easy for a little bit, until the discharged ceased. I had the discharge for about 7-10 days. Extremely light. I did continue with my workouts b/c if it was old blood, than it wasn't going to make a difference, I even ran a 10K.
Yes, it is very scary. Our maternal insticts are so strong, aren't they? You should do what feels right to you. I will say a special prayer for you today. Have a great day!

When I was pregnant with my son I had a brown discharge very early on. And lots of it. Around 7 to 9 weeks I had it. I was told the same thing it was old blood.
I would just take it easy.
BTW-I had a healthy beautiful baby boy......whom is 6 now!
