Hello dear
Understand your concern
Spotting at the 30week of pregnancy is not normal.
I think about following possibility:
Low lying plcenta/placental bleeding/mild form of placenta previa, high blood pressor.
Subchorionic haemorrhage
Vaginal infections, polyp and erosion

I advice you to consult the gynaecologist as early as possible and go for following investigations: vaginal examination, blood pressure measurement, vaginal swab test, Transvaginal USG scan.
All these investigation help you to identifies the above causes.
Specific treatment is required for above causes
For vaginal infection: antibiotic, erosion by giving betadine ointment and proper hygiene. Placental problem treatment depend on the the status of mother and maturation of baby and distress of baby.
Take complete bed rest till the spotting will disappear.
Avoid excretion and heavy work.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
