Early Pregnancy Brown Discharge 5 Weeks Pregnant
If you’re pregnant, you may start noticing changes in your vaginal discharge starting around week 5. This early pregnancy brown discharge is usually harmless, but it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
What’s Normal
During early pregnancy, it’s common to have more vaginal discharge than usual. This discharge may be thin and watery, or thick and sticky. It may be clear, white, or light brown in color.
What’s Not Normal
If you have any concerns, contact your doctor. Some signs that something may be wrong include:

Causes
The cause of early pregnancy brown discharge is usually hormonal changes. As your body prepares for the baby, it starts to produce more of the hormone progesterone. This can cause the discharge to become thicker and darker in color.

Cottage Cheese Looking Discharge Pregnancy
Many women experience cottage cheese looking discharge during early pregnancy. This is a common and normal occurrence, and is most likely due to the hormonal changes your body is experiencing.
The discharge is often thick and lumpy, and can resemble cottage cheese. It may also be white or yellow in color. This discharge is most common during the first trimester, but can continue throughout your pregnancy.
There is no need to be alarmed if you experience cottage cheese discharge during pregnancy. It is simply your body’s way of flushing out toxins and preparing for the birth of your baby. However, if you experience any other symptoms, such as pain, itching, or burning, be sure to consult your doctor.
Colour Of Discharge During Pregnancy
A woman’s discharge during pregnancy can vary in colour from clear to white, yellow, green, brown and even pink. The discharge is usually thick and can range from a little bit of mucus to a lot of mucus. It is important to note that any changes in the colour or amount of discharge should be reported to your health care provider.
The most common type of discharge during pregnancy is white or clear and is caused by the increased production of estrogen and progesterone. This discharge is normal and is nothing to worry about.
Yellow discharge is also normal during pregnancy and is caused by the increased production of cervical mucus. This mucus is meant to help keep the vagina clean and healthy.
Green discharge is also normal during pregnancy, but can be a sign of infection. If you have green discharge, call your health care provider.
Brown discharge is also normal during pregnancy, but can be a sign of infection. If you have brown discharge, call your health care provider.
