What Causes Vaginal Bleeding During Pregnancy?

Hi, i am pregnant for the second time. Unfortunately i miscarried around 20 weeks in June. I should be about 8 weeks pregnant on November 10 but i have had light bleeding. The first occurance was two days ago it was just a light flow that ended basically as soon as it started. I rested until today when i had a lot of walking i needed to do and then i bleed again. My worry is compounded by the fact that i have had a lot of acid problems and constipation so i am not sure if my stomache pain has other more sinister causes. I am only due to see my OB in a week. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion there are various causes for bleeding or spotting in pregnancy like hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency, abnormal pregnancy,low lying placenta,bleeding from cervix etc.
I suggest you to rule out the above causes by getting done physical examination , thyroid profile to rule out thyroid abnormalities,ultrasound to know the pregnancy status.
Nothing to worry.Once the cause is treated it will subside.
Avoid physical strain and intercourse.
Take strict bed rest.
But if the bleeding has not stopped consult doctor.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
