I woke up this morning and went to go to the toilet. pulled down my undies and noticed a thick brown discharge sitting in my panty liner. I have no idea about bleeding and discharges while pregnant so I am kinda a little on edge about it. Is it something I should be worried about?

Hmmm... I only ever had that when I lost my mucus plug, and it is too early for that (I think? not sure how your body reacts after a couple of pregnancies!). I would probably give your ob/mw a call tomorrow (or today if you can) just to let them know & see what they say.

Brown is typically old blood so i think its probably okay? if in doubt harrass the midwife

sounds like a piece of plug. The plug regenerates though so unless you start having contractions i wouldn't worry too too much. Just take it easy and when in doubt, call your care provider...that is what they are there for!

I don't know much about this either but I'd probably ring the doc just to be safe.

Im not in any kind of pain or more than usual discomfort and Xavier is still kicking away at me, so Im not really all that worried about it. Havent seen anymore since this morning either. But if it turns up again I will ring my mw 1st thing tomorrow morning

I would definately call the doctor and ask about it, it's better to be safe than sorry. It's probably not a huge deal. Brown blood means old blood, so that's good.

I had that weeks before delivering dd, but I had to be induced so I don't think it is necessarily a sign of preterm labor, but I would tell the dr at my next appt or call if it happened again.

to me it sounds like old blood.
