I have noticed the past few days in my undies a light brown discharge, its quite smelly too I had this a couple of months ago and had a swab taken and nothing showed up then it went away. The smell isn't fishy though that was the first question the dr asked me. Sorry too much information! I just don't know what it could be.
I had and still occasionally have a brownish discharge. During pregnancy, our bodily fluids increase and this would just be your cervical mucus. I'm unsure as to why the colour is. Mine, I think, is just breakthrough period bleeding. Very minor of course. It seems to come through when I would normally be having a period.
My dr is not worried about it.
Here's my TMI opinion (and how I would decide whether to go to the DR or not): If it's a healthy smell I wouldn't worry about it. If it smells wrong or bad (instead of just like your normal odour but stronger) I would go to a DR straightaway. There are lots of yuckko bacteria that can thrive in *ahem* moist environments, and the fishy smell is indicative of only one or two of them.
Could be a subchlorinic (sp?) collection, a small one, that is giving a slight discharge of old blood thats mixing with ur mucus? I had similar after a bleeding episode thats what it was, you dont need to have the red bleeding to have one though, they tend to heal in their own time

I'm sorry TMI...

It actually does smell a bit like old blood now that I think about it, but I am going to the dr tomorrow anyway so I will mention it to her.
