Brief Answer:
This is minor problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about bleeding at such early pregnancy.

Minor bleeding episodes like this are common in early pregnancy. This is a phase where baby tries to implant firmly into uterus. Sometimes there is resistance to implantation and growth which causes bleeding episodes like this. I don't think this is a problem and you don't need to worry about it.

I suggest you go take complete rest for one week and continue the medicines you are taking.

Get an ultrasound scan done after one week to check baby growth.

Your baby is likely to be unaffected by such minor bleeding.
Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
