Brown discharge at 37 weeks

Many mothers will make some advance preparations for the birth of their babies in the late stages of pregnancy, and will prepare clothes, milk powder, etc. for their babies. When mothers are 37 weeks pregnant, it is already the late stage of pregnancy. At this time, there is not much time left for your baby to be born. However, some careful mothers will find that their bodies will discharge some brown secretions. What's going on?

The secretion is composed of water, protein, glandular secretions and other benign vaginal bacteria and metabolites. Normal secretion is a transparent, slightly sticky but odorless substance. The secretion will increase after pregnancy. However, there is little difference between the early and middle stages of pregnancy and when not pregnant. The amount of secretions in the late stages of pregnancy is similar to the normal ovulation period, or even more. When the amount of secretions is abnormal and combined with abnormal color and odor, the source of the abnormality should be found to protect the health of yourself and your baby!

The 37th week of pregnancy is considered the late stage of pregnancy, so pregnant women must be careful in everything. So, what is the reason for brown discharge at 37 weeks of pregnancy?

The brown discharge in early pregnancy is most likely "implantation bleeding", which is a small amount of blood caused by the rupture of uterine capillaries when the placenta is just implanted. Generally speaking, this situation may occur 4 to 6 weeks from the last menstruation. If there is a little blood at this time, it is a normal implantation phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. It will return to normal after a day or two. However, if the amount of blood continues to increase, it may be a sign of miscarriage and you need to seek medical attention immediately.

Excessive blood streaking before 20 weeks of pregnancy may be a sign of premature birth, but it does not mean that the fetus will be lost. As long as you go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and take good care of the fetus, the fetus can still be saved.

However, if the discharge is streaked with blood or even brown in color between 20 and 37 weeks, it indicates prenatal bleeding, which may be caused by cervical dilatation, placental abruption or placenta previa, and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Treat after the cause is identified.
