Following on from my post which poppy kindly responded too, I have had more brown discharge this afternoon, and this time it was stringy and mucas like. I dont know what to think, I called the early pregnancy unit this morning before the stringy mucas and they said not to worry, but since this has happenned it has concerned me again. Does anyone think I may be miscarrying. Very worried, I hope that someone can respond.

Brown blood is meant to be old blood.

Yeah I agree, brown blood is normally old blood thats been there a while and your body is probably just getting rid of it. Old blood does also tend to go a bit stringy, like if you have a late or missed period which doesn't seem to come away properly. I had a brown bloody discharge at about 9 or 10 weeks and it lasted 3 days with some period pains. I was sure I was losing the baby but then it stopped and I has a scan and everything was fine. The doctor was great and reasured me that most women who have bleeding go on to have normal babies and not to worry too much unless the blood turned red and I was passing clots. Saying that my friend actually had a full period at 8 weeks pregnant and it due in 4 weeks time!! You just need to try to relax and put your feet up. Talk to your doctor tomorrow and ask for a scan to check the baby but it's probably just one of those things. Especially if you have no pain with it.

Thanks for your kind advice. I am just sitting and relaxing right now.
Wrapped some xmas pressies. But I am still very worried. I still have the same light discharge, I hope it is just the old blood.
I hope that you will all keep your fingers crossed for me.
Thanks again guys.
Nite
