It is not uncommon to experience a brown discharge during pregnancy, obviously the first thought is often that something is wrong. However this is not always the case. In our experience, many women have had some kind of discharge right through the first trimester, although it is important to arrange for a Doctor to check you out if this does happen to you as there can be all manner of reasons this might happen, some of them are not too positive.

One of the more common reasons for a brown discharge during pregnancy, especially if it is late in the first trimester is that your body is getting rid of the older blood remains. As your body grows, the original blood used to protect junior is no longer needed. So aside from starting a heart attack in mom as she panics at the sight of the discharge, it is perfectly normal.
