Brownish discharge during pregnancy
Hello doctor,
As of today I am 12 weeks 5 days pregnant.. Last transvaginal scan i had on 16th February and doctor said everything is alright.. Last 3 days I am having little dark brownish spotting.. Is it something alarming? I had similar discharge in last week of January also which got stopped on it's own.
What could be the reason for this discharge now again and what should i do please suggest. Thanks in advance!

Spotting can be due to placental formation which may be low lying..
You need to repeat an ultrasound to ensure there s no retroplacental bleed or hematoma..
Ask your doctor to start you on additional pregnancy support

Though you had bleeding in January, your next scan in February was told to be fine.Now also there looks to be same. My suggestion is to do another scan now to check baby well being and also to do NT,NASAL BONE measures which are important between 11 to 14 wks pregnancy. If you want any clarifications you can connect for online chat with me on Practo Consult.
