Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
First need to know the reason of previous miscarriage. Since there is already a history need to be more careful, so discharge might not be normal. Progesterone support and bloodiness be required. Repeated scans may be needed to monitor more closely, a more deep history of the women and her family details might be needed, so it's better to consult and give a proper history, a proper check up and all reports and even physical checkup to localise the bleeding.

Brown discharge during pregnancy is never normal. She should get her sonography of the lower abdomen done and consult a Gynaecologist with the report.
She should take adequate rest and progesterone supplements.
For details she should consult a Gynaecologist.

Obs USG should be done if there is brown discharge.Sometimes placenta present in lower uterine can cause bleeding or blood stained discharge.As pt is having previous history of abortion she should be investigated properly.Some Progesterone support is also required. Cervical length 3.5 cm is Ok.
