Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. As per your description, it appears as if you had some fresh spotting. This needs further evaluation. Please contact your health care provider to plan further management. Most often, some subtle bleeds occur within the membranes and this can manifest as spotting. A sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route will help to know the status of the pregnancy. Please abstain from any stressful activity and take absolute bed rest. If there is no more fresh bleeding, the course of the pregnancy is likely to be uneventful now. Take care.
