Vaginal bleeding can occur frequently in the first trimester of pregnancy and may not be a sign of problems. Bleeding can be caused by a number of reasons.

Ectopic pregnancies, Molar pregnancies, an inflamed cervix or growths on the cervix can cause spotting.Infection in the pelvic cavity or urinary tract may cause bleeding.Pelvic cavity is in bold because it is very general and there can be several problems in this area of the body.

35% of women experience spotting in the first trimester and there are several reasons why. I named a few, but are the most common.
