Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Spotting During 30 Weeks Of Pregnancy

hi. I al almost 30 weeks pregnant & the last couple days have scared me. I ended up spotting two tiny drops so my hospital wanted me to go in. they put the monitor on my belly & his heart rate was usually around 140-150 but I seen it dip to the 40 s a few times.. it would always jump back up in the matter of seconds but I am still very concerned. the doctors told me it was normal but im still scared. can u please reassure me?

hi dear, the monitor they put you was cardiotopograph, which monitors fetal heart rate. the dip u have noticed is physiological, not to worry. since you have spotting pv, it is advisable to do ultrasound for knowing location of placenta. i hope i have cleared your doubt.
