Is bleeding in the 28th week of pregnancy normal?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 08/10/2023

The 28th week of pregnancy is part of the third trimester of gestation and, therefore, the final stretch. If at this time the woman suffers spotting or bleeding, the best thing to do is to inform the doctor so that he/she can make the necessary assessments.

The origin of bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy can be multiple: cervical insufficiency, placenta previa, premature detachment of the placenta, etc.
