A member asked:

I am just over 13 weeks pregnant & i am spotting again. had the same issue a week ago & the u/s was fine baby had strong heartbeat. what could be the cause of spotting? because i had been avoiding sex and any heavy lifting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Developing placenta: You may be developing your placenta at this time in the pregnancy and an edge of the same may be located close to the cervical opening causing spotting.. Good news is if that is the case, and the pregnancy continues to grow it often "drags" the placental edge up into the main body of the uterus as well. Tune in for the U/s at 16 or more weeks if the spotting continues.
