Brown Discharge During Pregnancy
Last September, I have a brown discharge, I thought that this could be part of my menstruation such as old blood. It was lasted for 10 days. I decided to have a pregnancy test kit and I found out positive. I worried about the brown discharge so I went to my Ob-gyne. She advised me to have an early pregnancy ultrasound such as transvaginal ultrasound. Transvaginal ultrasound is a pelvic examination which used to look at a woman’s reproductive organs such as uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina.
The transvaginal shows irregular GS with macro yolk sac and fetal pole without cardiac activity. It means that my baby has no heartbeat. It also shows that there is a 4.2 cm equal to 9 weeks old. So, my ob-gyne said that I have to undergone D&C (dilation and curettage). D&C is the procedure is the process of enlarging the entrance of a woman’s uterus and sharp instrument scrape or suction away the lining of the uterus and take tissue.
My ob-gyne gave me request memo in order for me to admit in the hospital once I have a bright red blood discharge. After one week of waiting, I have a little red blood discharge so I went to my ob-gyne. After check up, I admitted in the hospital and undergone D&C. Thanks God, everything is okay. Before I really scared but my ob-gyne assured me that I don’t feel any pain while doing D&C because of anesthesia.
For those women who have abnormal discharge, please go to your ob-gyne for check up to know the possible cause. For some pregnant women, brown discharge can be normal because it can be implantation bleeding during pregnancy or just an old blood so better check to avoid worries and to make sure that everything is alright.
