Pregnant, Bled Dark Red And Clots, Then Lighter. Scan Shows The Baby Ok. Should Be Concerned With This Off And On Bleeding ?

Hi, I m just in my 11week and 4 days ago I bled with dark red bleeding and clots. Subsequently had lighter bleeding while peeing. I went to see a doc and scan that baby was ok. After about a day, it stopped, with no more bleeding at all. Just yesterday, suddenly my pad was soaked with dark red blood . After that, the same thing happened. Slowly it stopped. Have not gone to see the doc yet. Should I be concerned with this off and on bleeding? Thanks.

Hello
thank you for your query.
This off and on bleeding is definitely of concern, as it raises the possibility of an impending abortion or abnormality in the fetus, or a low lying placenta - all of which endanger your pregnancy.
You should definitely consult your doctor with this bleeding, and have a repeat ultrasound for fetal wellbeing, placenta localization.
You should be taking adequate progesterone supplementation .
Take care.
