Normal=Common, Not: Health. Intermittent loss of blood is not rare but also a sign of problems. Seek help worthy of your trust. Placenta Previa is one of many possibilities which are best sort out soon, e.g. by ultrasound exam performed by physician with your watching the images real time during the exam and learning.
