It is not always normal to bleed in pregnancy. The manifestation depends on some factors such as gestational age and the cause of the bleeding.
For example: the displacement of the egg or placenta in the first few months can generate small bleeds that indicate that something is wrong.
On the other hand, in the final weeks, the expulsion of the mucous plug can also generate bleeding due to the rupture of small blood vessels. But this is normal.
In general, bleeding during pregnancy is a cause for concern if accompanied by severe pain, fever and fainting.
Pregnancy time can also determine whether blood flow is a concern. In most cases, bleeding after 3 months of gestation tends to be uncommon.
In case of doubts or suspicions, seek medical assistance.

When can bleeding occur during pregnancy?
The bleeding in pregnancy can happen every month, but is not always a sign that something is wrong. After fertilization and before delivery, nesting and expulsion of the mucous plug can cause blood flows that are normal. But infections and internal wounds are conditions that can cause abnormal bleeding.
