In many patients, bleeding comes from the cervix, called the cervix. Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause the cells lining the cervix to grow outward. This condition, called ectropion, is physiological and is responsible for most spots. Sometimes subchorionic hemorrhages may be seen behind the palsenta. These conditions, which are reflected as a hypoechogenic area behind the placenta on ultrasound, usually shrink spontaneously.
