Brief Answer:
AS BELOW

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Please upload the ultrasound scan report that was done.
Also, when was her last menstrual period , and are her cycles regular ?
I need to know how many weeks pregnant she is before commenting whether the scan was normal.
Bleeding during this period indicates a threatened miscarriage.
At times, it maybe treated successfully with medications and rest.
You can only know the outcome after a week, if the ultrasound report has improved.
Meanwhile, susten contains progesterone , it is a hormone that supports the growing pregnancy.
SHe should also take absolute rest.
Avoid stress, travelling, intercourse.
Please upload the scan so that I can provide more information.
All the best
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
AS BELOW

Detailed Answer:
Going by her last period, she should be 7 weeks pregnant right now.
The scan shows 5 wk 6 days, also by now, the fetal pole should be seen.
There is a chance that because of a 31 day cycle, she might have had delayed conception.
There is no way to know how the pregnancy will progress until a repeat scan is done.
If that shows no improvement, then you will need to terminate this pregnancy.
SHe needs to rest, remain stress - free, take all medications as advised.
Wishing you lots of luck.

Brief Answer:
REPORT LOOKS GOOD, DONT WORRY.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Congratulations, the latest report looks good.
THe heartbeat is seen, which is a very positive sign.
The medications are fine too, there is a small amount of bleeding, but hopefully that should be resolved.
She should be resting, as emphasized before.
AVoid all kinds of stress, travelling, avoid intercourse.
Take medications sincerely.
I do not think there is any need to worry as the scan looks good and there is no ominous bleeding.
The fibroids might cause complications in the third trimester and during delivery, but right now, there is no cause for concern.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
REPORT OK, THREATENED MISCARRIAGE IS THE CAUSE

Detailed Answer:
Hi
The recent report is normal.
This condition is called threatened miscarriage.
Herein, mild bleeding occurs, but the baby remains fine, however, there is risk of miscarriage anytime.
It can be because of the uterine fibroids, or due to lack of adequate blood flow to the baby.
The doctor must have admitted her for bedrest, as however much you might try, rest in a hospital room surpasses rest at home.
Take care.
