Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alyhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: "If a pregnant woman sees blood one or two days before delivery and she is in labor, then this is part of post-partum and she should not pray or fast. If she is not in labor, then this blood would be considered irregular bleeding and it would not prevent her from fasting and praying."

Allaah Knows best.
