Hello
Thanks for your query.You are in 37 weeks of pregnancy and getting intermittent bleeding since a week.This could be due to separation of a marginal placenta that happens during last weeks of pregnancy as the internal Os starts opening.As regard the growth of a child you can get your ultrasound scanning done to confirm the status of fetus.Please do not worry as you are approaching a full term and nothing is going to change the situation.Be happy and have a normal delivery and a healthy child.

hi welcome to hcm.see don't be too much worries discuss with your doc what was the reason for it? and also ask abt growth of fetus.take bed rest to avoid strain on fetus.plus tell the doc to check FSH of fetus if it within limit then no need to worries.
thanks
