According to Dr Bhavana Mittal, spotting during pregnancy should never be ignored, even if it appears mild. While many women experience harmless spotting, a timely evaluation helps rule out serious conditions and provides reassurance. Every pregnancy is unique, and treatment decisions should always be based on clinical examination, ultrasound findings, and the mother's overall health.
