Brief Answer:
Relax,maybe normal, but have a check up
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Congratulations on the pregnancy !
SOmetimes, mild spotting of blood is common during pregnancy, as the local tissues get more blood supply.
HOwever, since she is also feeling heaviness, it is best to consult a doctor.
Serious reasons such as low lying placenta should be ruled out.
That can be done by a check up and an ultrasound scan.
SO please get that done.
If that is normal, do not worry.
In view of the spotting however, it is best to start progesterone therapy to maintain good support to the baby.
Discuss this with your doctor also.
All the best.
PLease feel free to discuss further.
