Suggest Treatment For Severe Vaginal Spotting During 8th Month Of Pregnancy
Question: I am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and noticed some faint red spotting late last night. This morning it was a darker brown and now has stopped. What could this mean?
Brief Answer:
threatened abortion
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Any form of bleeding during pregnancy in early pregnancy is considered to be a threatened abortion unless proven otherwise. Hence it is suggested that you should visit your obstetrician and get an ultrasound pelvis done to rule out any retroplacental haemorrhage at the utero-placental junction. If found then you shall require progesterone support daily till 14 weeks and bed rest till bleeding is completely controlled.
Please meet your obstetrician soon.
