A member asked:

What does it mean when a woman who is 35 weeks pregnant and she has brownish discharge coming out? is she getting close to going in labour?

Dr. Liza Kunz answered

Call you OBGYN: You probably should get seen by your obgyn. They will likely want to examine you, check on the baby, see the discharge and see if your cervix is starting to open.
