Brown discharge during pregnancy

Pregnant mothers are most concerned that what they do may be bad for their babies. During pregnancy, as the baby grows, the mother's body will also undergo different changes. At this time, the mother needs to pay attention to her own changes. These changes are also related to the baby. In addition, her own health can also be seen through these symptoms. For example, is it normal for some mothers to have brown discharge in the 50th day of pregnancy?

Is it normal to have brown discharge at 50 weeks of pregnancy?

The thing that expectant mothers fear most is that something goes wrong with the baby in their belly, so once they find something abnormal in the body, they will be very anxious. In early pregnancy, brown discharge is very common. Why is there brown discharge during pregnancy? Common causes of brown discharge in early pregnancy include the following:

1. Ectopic pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy means that the sperm and egg have combined, but they have not swam into the uterus to implant the embryo, or they have swam back and failed to successfully implant the embryo. This is called "hidden miscarriage." Generally, in the case of miscarriage within 5 weeks of pregnancy, HCG can be detected in the blood and it exceeds the standard value or the early pregnancy test is positive, but the gestational sac cannot be seen during the color ultrasound examination. This is also called "subclinical miscarriage." Patients usually have no other symptoms, just like menstruation, so they are often ignored.

2. Abnormal embryonic development. If the baby develops abnormally, it will lead to miscarriage. Most of them are due to chromosomal abnormalities. Data show that 50-60% of cases of miscarriage or fetal arrest during early pregnancy are due to chromosomal abnormalities. Experts suggest that if brown discharge is found, one should take it easy and not try to maintain the pregnancy if there are any abnormalities or diseases in the development of genitals such as the cervix, otherwise there will be bigger problems in the later stages.

3. The most common abnormality of the cervix is ​​cervical erosion. If brown discharge appears the next day after a couple has sex (many people do not know they are pregnant), cervical erosion should be considered. Secondly, cervical cysts can also cause bleeding, and the bleeding will continue. More attention should be paid to decidual cysts, which are cysts unique to pregnancy and are more prone to bleeding than cervical cysts and will continue to bleed until the middle of pregnancy. This type of cyst cannot be removed surgically, otherwise it will cause miscarriage or continuous bleeding. Therefore, if you have brown discharge during early pregnancy, go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check your cervix first. In cases of malformations such as double uterus or rudimentary horn uterus, after a normal uterine pregnancy, the abnormal uterine wall will thicken and cause bleeding. Therefore, color Doppler ultrasound examination is essential for bleeding in early pregnancy.
