If it was meconium it would be more of a dark green than brown. I had a tint of brown in my mucous plug. It is the consistency. Was it stringy a like snot? The brown it dried or dead blood.

If its brown at all and you suspect its your water check for the odor? But go in right away if brown the baby could get very sick if the baby pooped in utero and breathed it in its very very dangerous! I hope all is well and hope you and your baby are healthy
