I am 10 weeesk 2 days pregnant with my third child. I began to have some brown tinged cervical mucus at 6 weeks 3 days and called my doctor. I was given an ultrasound. We saw the baby's heart beat, and no bleeding from anywhere in the uterus. It stopped for about a week and 1/2 and began again at about 8weeks. Again I had another ultrasound. The baby had grown to appropriate size based on the last ultrasound and still a strong heart beat. Again no bleeding in the uterus. I was told everything was fine. I am ten weeks and still have this tan and browm discharge, but only when I wipe and not everytime. My doctor told me it was vervical and that I shouldn't be worried. I had a pap and pelvic exam 2 months prior to conceiving and everything came back normal. I am very nervous about this and can't understand this, is this really normal and just from an irritable cervix?

I just wanted you to know that I have had your same problem with all three of my healthy boys. I would actually bleed sometimes though too. Most of the time, it was just a brown discharge when I wiped. It usually lasted for the first 3-4 months of my pregnancies. The doctor ended up attributing it to a sensitve/irritated cervix. My boys are now 4,2,and1 and the pregnancies were fine. I guess we're all made differently so people's bodies also react differently to pregnancy!
Hope this helps!
