hi,
the possible causes for your bleeding are,
-as blood supply to local organs will be increased in pregnancy little friction can lead to spotting,
-local injuries,
-placental causes like placenta previa, abruption etc.
to rule out these you can get physical examination once and one ultrasound,
if any abnormality gets detected in these tests you can take treatment accordingly,
better to have preventive measures like progesterone tablets with your doctor's advice.
take care.
