Brief Answer:
POSSIBLE MISCARRIAGE SHOULD BE RULED OUT.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Mild spotting is quite common in early weeks of pregnancy. However, we need to rule out possible miscarriage or molar pregnancy in this context.
In this circumstance, I suggest you to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG and Trans Vaginal Ultrasound scan to reveal fetal well being. After that, you must consult with your Gynecologist for next level management.
Until then, FOLIC acid and micronised progesterone supplement should be taken. Complete bed rest is advisable. Maintain genital hygiene and avoid heavy work.
Hope, I have answered your query. If you don't have any other query, you can close the discussion.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
