Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If the heart beat of the baby is seen on the ultrasound scan, then it is good news.
Was it a natural pregnancy, or was any treatment used ?
Bleeding even a few drops of blood is not a good sign, there is always a chance of miscarriage.
So only a repeat ultrasound scan after 2 weeks will tell you if the baby is going to be alright.
Right now she needs to take maximum precautions to minimize the risk of miscarriage.
Avoid intercourse.
Avoid stress or emotional turmoil of any kind.
Do not travel much.
Take bedrest as much as possible.
Eat simple home cooked foods.
Think positive, pray and meditate.
Take the medication as advised.
The tablets prescribed will help in preventing a miscarriage, but there is no guarantee.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
