A member asked:

I'm pregnant 36 weeks now . have low placenta had some bleeding in past 3 times . since 4 days i have brown discharge not much i'm not shore what to?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call your physician.: Brown discharge is usually from old blood and often less concerning, but at 36 weeks any bleeding could be a concern and should be checked. Make sure the baby is moving well and you may need to make plans for mode of delivery depending on how low the placenta is.
