Dear user, thank you for your question! Common causes of bleeding in early pregnancy include miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and cervical polyps, while causes of bleeding in later parts of pregnancy include placenta previa, abruptio placentae and vasa previa. Any bleeding during pregnancy warrants an assessment by the obstetrician, as the differentiation of the above causes goes beyond just symptoms, and are very dependent on physical examination, laboratory test (B-HCG) as well as pelvic ultrasound findings.
