Hallow Dear,

At any stage of pregnancy, any amount of bleeding should be taken seriously. Chord never leaks.

Please undergo ultrasonography. It will visually locate the site from where you are bleeding. If it is from behind the placenta, you have to be on the bed. Scan also will inform whether the foetal heart activity is present or not. Also it will inform about the status of the cervix (mouth of the uterus). If it is short and internal mouth is opening, you may require reinforcement stitch to the cervix after the bleeding stops completely.

If the baby has not been affected, I would advise you to take full bed rest and start Progesterone preparation with Obstetrician's advice.

So please report to the Obstetrician ASAP.

I hope this helps you.
