What Causes Vaginal Spotting During Pregnancy?
Hi Sir, So i'm 22 weeks pregnant and had a bright red spotting after bowel movement for the first time. I wiped and had it just once but i'm worried since i'm a light smoker (i used to smoke a pack before pregnancy and now i smoke 2-3 cigars each day), i sleep late as well (almost sleeping only after 5a.m, but i sleep for 10-12 hours). Is it serious?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
At this point of pregnancy that you are it is placenta previa the main cause of bleeding.
Since you mentioned that it happened after bowel movement I suppose may be hemorrhoids causing it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
