Sorry to get gross...

Ok, so I've been having to wear a panty liner for the past few weeks for (what my OB already told me is) normal discharge.  I get home today from work...feel a slight "trickle"? go to the bathroom and see a very light brown/pink discharge on the liner.  Not soaked, but enough for me to immediately freak out and call my OB's office, who's closed (go figure).  The on call doc called me back and told me not to worry, just to keep an eye on it and head to the ER if I notice any red blood.  I know I should feel at ease because she told me not to worry, but now every awful situation is running through my mind (need to stop reading everything on the internet!).  Anybody else have this?  In my mind I'm leaking amniotic fluid and I'm screwed.  (oh yea, did I mention I'm a drama queen?!)  Any input you guys could give would be awesome.  Thanks!!!

Relax and keep an eye on it. Stress won't help. Keep track of how long it goes on and if it continues for an obnoxious amount of time, call again.

Have you had recent intercourse? I had some spotting as well, but my dr told me baby was absolutely fine, that I was all sealed up, but that it was probably from sex and I had to hold the reins for 2 weeks =( Sucks, but unless you notice a trickle of very red blood, don't worry about it.

I would freak out too! But sometimes I have a brownish tinge to my secretion and from what I was told is it is just old blood! Probably from the cervix being irritated! If the doctor says that it is okay then just hand in there and try and get your mind off of it! Watch out for anything else but worrying will just make you more miserable at the end of the day!
