Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Once you are pregnant and suffered from bleeding it amounts to threatened abortion and was rightly advised rest and progesterone support and tocolytic that is supposed to prevents uterine contractions. Deficiency of endogenous progesterone may lead to bleeding and miscarriage.
Both these drugs are safe and help to continue pregnancy. There is no risk of fetal defects due to drugs.
You have mentioned stopped drinking? it is not clear what do you mean by it.
Please continue to take your medicine as per advise of your Gynecologist.
Folic acid supplementation must be given to prevent defects. There are some test which can detect antenatally your Gynecologist will guide you.
Wish you safe motherhood.
Take care.
Good Luck.
