Lower tummy ache and brown discharge
Hi all, I previously spoke to my midwife about this as I had the same thing about a week ago for a day or two then it stopped but now it’s back. Felt like my midwife was really dismissive, told me it would probably be thrush even though I’ve never had thrush and it wasn’t itchy etc. She got me to do a swab which then came back all clear so I’m confused whether this is something to be concerned about or not? Any help, gratefully appreciated. I’m 24+5 with my first baby 🩵

I had this in second trimester on one of my pregnancies and they put it down to a probable old haematoma. But I was scanned each time it happened and had to have my anti D injection just in case (only if you’re o rhesus negative). Xxxxx
I would call your triage at the hospital and ask to go get checked over to be safe. Just because it's brown doesn't necessarily mean it is OK so best to be safe. I hope everything is OK xx

If it’s brown I wouldn’t worry too much (old blood rather than new) - if it was bright red I’d be more concerned. It could be baby moving lower down and putting pressure down there. If your really concerned though you could ring triage to see what they say x
