I am 37 weeks pregnant. This afternoon, I had bright red blood, no abdominal pain, so I went to the general hospital. The doctor said it was due to fetal heart disease, there were no signs of birth and gave medicine to take for 3 days, if not, then hospitalized.

In your case, bleeding may be caused by the mucus plug in the cervix opening and exiting through the vagina before the uterus starts to have contractions.
