What are the causes of brown secretions if I'm pregnant?

Doctor's Answer

Brownish vaginal discharge during pregnancy may be a sign of threatened miscarriage especially if it is accompanied by pelvic pain.

This may be stale blood that is being passed out. It could also be an indication of a lower genital tract infection particularly if there is fever, itchiness and / or foul smelling in nature. If you are not sure, it may be safer the get this checked out properly by a gynaecologist.
