Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion bleeding during pregnancy can be due to hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency,cervical bleeding,low lying placenta,miscarriage etc.Also bleeding due to piles if any should be ruled out.A ultrasound helped in knowing the pregnancy status.If ultrasound is normal low lying placenta and miscarriage are ruled out.A thyroid profile needs to be done to rule out any thyroid abnormalities.If all the above parameters are normal then the bleeding might be cervical bleeding.Dont worry it will subside spontaneously.Avoid physical strain,intercourse.Take good rest.Take iron rich diet and iron supplements to combat anaemia caused due to bleeding.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
