What is the cause of brown discharge at 42 days of pregnancy?

Many pregnant women are very happy when they first learn that they are pregnant, but they are also a little nervous at the same time, because there are many issues that need to be paid attention to during pregnancy. Some pregnant women have brown secretions during pregnancy. What does this mean? Let's talk about it in detail below.

The brown color of vaginal discharge is caused by old bleeding that is discharged with the leucorrhea and is related to previous vaginal bleeding. Now the secretion is gradually becoming less and lighter in color, which means that there is no further bleeding. There is no need to worry too much as it will not affect the fetus. Since the previous vaginal bleeding was considered to be threatened abortion and progesterone was used to treat it, and no examination was done after stopping the medication, it is recommended that you go to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of the local hospital, where the doctor will conduct a face-to-face examination and evaluation for you to decide whether you need to continue treatment. During this period, pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual intercourse and excessively strenuous exercise, and maintain a balanced diet to facilitate the growth and development of the fetus. If you have brown discharge after pregnancy, you may have threatened miscarriage and need to rest in bed. Remember not to lift heavy objects during this period. Try your best to rest and relax. Go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination if necessary. Of course, some old people say that if brown discharge occurs during pregnancy, the chances of having a boy are higher. If coffee-colored discharge occurs, it means there may be bleeding, so be alert to miscarriage. Usually, you must absolutely refrain from sexual intercourse, and avoid fatigue, cold, mental stress, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. If everything is normal, then rest more and exercise less. In addition, you can follow the doctor's advice and use some mild tocolytic drugs according to the actual situation.

If a pregnant woman has brown discharge, she must go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. Do not delay, otherwise it will be very harmful to the baby. Pregnant women are very weak during pregnancy and need to be well taken care of by their family members. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself during this period.
