Dear user, thank you for your question! Any bleeding during pregnancy warrants an assessment by the obstetrician, as the differentiation of the causes of bleeding in pregnancy goes beyond just symptoms, and are very dependent on physical examination, laboratory test (B-HCG) as well as pelvic ultrasound findings. Specifically, signs that require 'immediate' attention in the accident and emergency department include bleeding with blood clots, intense pelvic pain and fainting or giddiness or low blood pressure (which will signify large amounts of blood loss).
