Orange discharge

[Dana_Scully]

This afternoon I felt like I was having stretching pains in my uterus. A few hours later when I wiped I found some orangish discharge. There was a lot of it. I feel a bit sore but so far no cramps. In 7 weeks pregnant. Should I worry? 😯 For the past 2 weeks I've had terrible morning sickness. Surely it means I won't lose the baby? 😢

How orange are we talking? I've been getting quite yellowy discharge. A fair amount, and (tmi) clumpy too. Was worried at first but it seems others have had it and it's nothing to worry about... been getting it a couple of weeks now and all is ok. As long as there's no bleeding and no really painful cramping, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Xxx

If this is abnormal discharge from what you've been having I suggest calling your ob/midwife etc. It could be some blood tinged discharge or it could be a sign of infection.... in either case I wouldn't worry just yet as more than likely it doesn't mean anything significant. But I would call your treating provider to let him/her know your concerns. Good luck!

It's very light orange. I want see my doctor until tuesday. I called another one and he said it's probably blood. He said to wait and see what happens.😢 Usually my cm is dark yellow.

I still wouldn't worry at this point. The cervix is engorged with blood and something simple, like a sneeze or straining from a bowel movement or having sex, can irritate the cervix so that you may bleed a little. If the bleeding worsens or is accompanied by cramping then I would call your doc back or go to the ER.

I had spotting at week 6 and at week 9. At week 6 it was a HUGE glob of dark brown discharge and I thought the worst! It was nothing. Then at 9 weeks it was red but just a little bit. That's when my midwife told me it was likely that my cervix was a little irritated.

It stopped after 3 wipes. Maybe it's because I've been vomiting so much? I'm scared it's gonna come back now. My uterus feels a bit sore.

It's possible dana_scully. If it stopped then that's a good sign and I'd wait it out as the doc said, as difficult as it may be. Try to distract yourself with something you enjoy, like a movie.

I've got yellow at the moment. With DS and the baby I lost I had brown for about s month. They said it's ok. I miscarried because of extreme weight loss from HG so nothing to do with the brown. Hope you're ok xx
