What is the cause of bleeding during pregnancy and can an ultrasound be performed?

Patient's question:

On March 3rd, my period stopped and I found out I was pregnant. On April 18th in the morning, I had brownish discharge. On April 21st, I went to the hospital. The doctor recommended a progesterone test, a specific B human chorionic gonadotropin test, and an ultrasound. We only did the progesterone and specific B test, and skipped the ultrasound because we were afraid it might affect the baby. Then on April 23rd in the morning, I had more brownish discharge.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be threatened miscarriage. Threatened miscarriage refers to a condition where there is slight vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, intermittent bleeding, accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and lower back pain. It may lead to miscarriage. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination first, and if necessary, receive treatment to prevent miscarriage. You will need to go to the hospital for 4D ultrasound, amniocentesis, and other examinations to check the fetal development.
