A member asked:

I'm 40 weeks pregnant, yesterday my dr checked me and said i'm 3cm. since then i've been having a brownish discharge when i go to the bathroom. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: That is called a bloody show and its due to the trauma of the exam and sometimes due to contractions against the cervix. Just make sure the baby is moving well. In any case, when worried call ur md.
