What Causes Spotting During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy
I am a 20 year old female in good health and i am 8 weeks 3days pregnant. I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and baby had a great heartbeat and dr said all looked good. However i have had spotting several times, once before ultrasound and 3 times since. Dr said ultrasound showed a blood sac in my uterus but was no cause for concern since it was far away from baby. Although he also said that the blood would probably come out and would be dark since it was old. I did spot dark once but the other times have been light to dark pink. It doesn't last for more than a few hours and i do not have any cramps with the bleeding. I did have a miscarriage in the past but baby never developed a heartbeat either. I am concerned for this very reason and am very confused to why this is happening. Please help!

hi you are still having threatened abortion and in my opinion you need to take precautions or else it can become a matter of concern. take rest ,no intercourse or lifting heavy weight. start taking tab susten 200 mg twice daily as it provides additional support to the pregnancy and reduces risk of miscarriage. continue this atleast till 14 weeks . all the best and take care .
