If you find a small amount of brown secretion in the early stages of pregnancy, it is most likely the residue from the previous menstrual period. As long as it does not occur continuously and you make sure to get enough rest and have prenatal checkups, there will be no problem.

Placenta previa

If you notice an increase in brown discharge during the second trimester, it may be related to placenta previa - the normal placenta is attached to the back wall, front wall or side wall of the uterine body. If the placenta is attached to the lower part of the uterus, or even the lower edge of the placenta reaches or covers the internal os of the cervix, and its position is lower than the presenting part of the fetus, it is called placenta previa.

Overwork

If you don't have placenta previa, the increase in brown secretions may be related to your recent overwork or mental stress. Please relax, take a walk, listen to music, and get more rest. If the amount of bleeding increases and is accompanied by abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.
