What to do if you have a brown discharge for a few days past 38 weeks?

38 weeks more brown discharge for a few days may be red, suggesting that labor is about to start, generally do not need special treatment, only need to closely observe the progress of labor, but if the vaginal bleeding is more, we need to be vigilant about pathological bleeding, such as placenta praevia, placental abruption and so on. Seeing red is one of the symptoms of preterm labor. Preterm labor also includes irregular contractions and the feeling of the fetus descending. Redness is a small amount of bleeding caused by the separation of the fetal membranes at the cervix from the uterine wall, which is often mixed with cervical mucus and then discharged, often indicating that labor is about to start. Usually, there is no need for special treatment, and you only need to closely observe the amount of vaginal bleeding, fetal movement and fetal heartbeat, and the contractions. If vaginal bleeding increases, we need to be alert to pathological diseases, such as: placenta praevia, often manifested as painless vaginal bleeding, ultrasound can help diagnosis; placental abruption, often manifested as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, increased uterine tension, ultrasound can help diagnosis, this disease has many complications and serious. If vaginal bleeding occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of vaginal bleeding and follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid delaying the condition.
