Brown spotting and cramping

Hi ladies I’m just over 17 weeks and have been experiencing tightness and intermittent cramping for 12+ hours. I felt a little bit of leakage during breakfast and ignored it because I’m been having a lot of watery white discharge recently. Anyways went to the toilet and it’s all brown. Absolutely freaking out now, I’ve called my midwife and she said to take paracetamol for the pain and put a liner on and monitor the fluid loss and if it turns red then call back. Has this happened to anyone and it turned out to be nothing? I haven’t done anything to cause the spotting I.e. no sex recently or no strenuous activity 😣

I would be calling triage

I agree, call triage xx

I had this at about 16 weeks. I phoned triage and had the same advice as you. Mine stopped / didn’t get any worse and all was ok at my 20 week scan. Definitely phone them again if anything changes xx

Thank you all! I’ve called triage and was given the same advice. Just going to try sleep it off and hope it doesn’t progress. Pregnancy is scary 😳

Fingers crossed it stops!! 🙏 If the hospital won't see you, could you book a private scan to see if everything is okay? X

Ive had this a few times in this pregnancy now, went for scans and no signs of blood around baby but didn’t get any answers of what caused it as hospital wasn’t concerned for baby. Hope all is ok for you as I know how stressful. Welcome to message me if you want to x

Thanks Rosa, things have thankfully settled now and I haven’t had anymore pain or spotting. Thinking it was just a random pregnancy thing. Hopefully it stays like that for the remainder of my pregnancy 🤞🏻
