Hallow Dear,

Any bleeding during any stage of pregnancy should be thoroughly investigated before labeling it as normal. You should get investigated ASAP.

1. Please get your vaginal examination done to rule out any cause in the cervix or vagina. Sometimes, cervical erosion, which is a classic feature of pregnancy due to raised oestrogen levels, may cause some bleeding. However, it would not be for continuous 3 days.

2. Please get your ultrasonography done. This will reveal from where the bleeding is coming. If it is from the chorionic tissue, you will need some attention. In such case, please take absolute bed rest. Inj. hCG or Progesterone preparations will help stopping this threatening to the pregnancy. You may have to continue progesterone preparation throughout the pregnancy till baby reaches full maturity.

3. If there is no alarming type of finding in the ultrasonography, then this bleeding may be ignored labeling it as implantation bleeding or placental sign.

4. If the bleeding turns dark brown, then it is not a good sign. This happens when the baby has become non-viable.

I feel ultrasonography only will guide you regarding the further management of your pregnancy. Please do not waste time. Report to the Obstetrician ASAP with ultrasonography images and/or reports.

I hope this will guide you.
