change positions, such as rising to stand from a sitting
position

Bleeding during pregnancy is more likely to be serious if the
bleeding is moderate to
severe or occurs with lower pelvic pain. These
symptoms may be caused by an infection,
ectopic pregnancy,
miscarriage, or another serious problem.
If you know that you are pregnant and you have vaginal bleeding, call
your doctor right away to discuss your symptoms.
