When the doctor does this procedure, you do get some brown discharge. It is old blood. Very normal. Doctors sweep your membranes to help speed along labor. It doesn't always work, but it does in some cases. Best of luck!

That can usually aid in starting labor. I had 2 friends have this done...one went into labor 6 hours later, another went 2 weeks overdue. Brown discharge may be blood. Brown is usually a sign that it is old blood. Could be a side effect of the exam. I wouldn't be too worried, but if it continues you may want to call the nurse just to be sure.

that is your "mucous plug" it needs to be cleared before the baby comes. yes, it is a brownish or pinkish tinged discharge and it is normal and nothing to worry about. get ready, you will have a baby any day now. congrats!

Well It could mean the baby pooped in the amnionic fluid, If it was anything to be concerned about Im sure the doctor would have told you.
