Agree with others, it is usually light pink or brown. But always check with your gynac to be safe.

I had a bad cough during my pregnancy and found that taking steam and drinking warm water throughout the day was the safest way to recover. Avoid over-the-counter cough syrups as many of them are not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed.

During my delivery at Cloudnine, the doctors kept a very close eye on my blood reports because low platelets can affect delivery planning. I'd highly recommend calling your hospital's obstetric coordinator or your gynac to discuss the exact numbers. They will guide you best on next steps.

Looking at those ultrasound prints still makes me teary-eyed! Usually, doctors do about 4 scans throughout the nine months. Every scan is a beautiful milestone where you get to hear your baby's heartbeat, so just cherish those moments and trust your healthcare team.

With my twins, any spotting made me run to the clinic like crazy! Sometimes it's just minor stretching, but with two babies I wasn't taking any chances. Seriously, let your doctor handle this, don't guess.
