What Does Vaginal Spotting During Pregnancy Indicate?

Hello, I am 7 weeks and 3 days pregnant. My pregnancy is high risk because I have Sickle Cell Anemia. I have been seeing blood since Saturday. It started out as just light pink spotting that came and went. But now it s more frequent, like I m going through 5 panty liners a day, and it s brownish in color, there s also tiny bits of tissue along with it. And when I wipe after urinating, it s pinkish in color, so I know it s not super heavy. But I am concerned. Should I be worried? What should I do?
