Hi there! I completely understand how scary it must have been to wake up and see that brown discharge. It's great that you called your gynae and were advised to monitor and rest. It's good that you don't have any other symptoms besides constipation, which could be causing the strain. It's important to take it easy and follow your doctor's advice.
Many moms have experienced this and it doesn't necessarily mean that the baby is coming out soon. Brown discharge can be a sign of old blood and doesn't always indicate labor. However, it's always best to stay in touch with your healthcare provider and keep them updated on any changes or concerns.
In the meantime, make sure you're staying hydrated and eating high-fiber foods to help with the constipation. Rest as much as you can and try to relax - stress won't help either of you. If you notice any other symptoms or the discharge becomes heavier or changes in color, definitely reach out to your doctor again.
I hope this eases your anxiety a bit. Hang in there, mama! You've got this. Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy journey.
