ANTEPARTUM
HAEMORRHAGE
(THIRD TRIMESTER
BLEEDING)
MS. MILAN SAWANT
 Third-trimester bleeding, ranging from spotting to
massive hemorrhage, occurs in 2% to 6% of all
pregnancies.
 The differential diagnosis includes:
 Bloody show from labor
 Abruptio placentae (AP)
 Placenta previa (PP)
 Vasa previa (VP)
 Cervicitis, postcoital bleeding, trauma, uterine rupture,
and carcinoma.
PLACENTA
ANTEPARTUM HAEMORRHAGE.pptx
DEFINITION
When the placenta is
implanted partially or
completely over the
lower uterine
segment(over and
adjacent to the internal
os)it is called placenta
previa.
INCIDENCE
O.5  1% among hospital deliveries
80% cases found in multiparous women
 Increase incidence beyond 35yrs
Increase incidence with high birth order and
multiple pregnancy 1 in 300- 400 pregnancy .
MECHANISM OF BLEEDING
Progressive stretching of the lower uterine segment
normally occurs during the 3rd trimester and labour,
but the inelastic placenta cannot stretch with it. This
leads to inevitable separation of a part of the
placenta with unavoidable bleeding.
The closer to term, the greater is the amount of
bleeding.
ETIOLOGY
THEORIES POSTULATED
Dropping down theory
Persistence of chorionic activity
Defective decidua
Big surface area of the placenta
HIGH RISK FACTORS
Multiparity
Increased maternal age
Previous cesarean section or any other scar in the
uterus ( fibroids myomectectomy )
Placental size and abnormality ( twin)
Smoking( due to defective decidual vascularisation)
Prior curettage
BROWNE`S CLASSIFICATION
1. TYPE I  Low  lying Major part of the placenta is attached to the
upper segment
Only the lower margin encroaches to the lower segment But not up
to the os
2. TYPE II  Marginal Placenta reaches the margin of the internal os
But does not cover it
3. TYPE III  Incomplete or partial central  Placenta covers the
internal os partially
4. TYPE IV  Central or total  Placenta covers the internal os even
after it is fully dilated
Type 1 and type 2 are minor degree. Type 3 and 4 are major degree.

CLINICAL FEATURES & SYMPTOMS
VAGINAL BLEEDING 
The classical presentation is painless antepartum haemorrhage. Causeless Recurrent
SIGNS
General condition and anemia are proportionate to the visible blood loss
ABDOMINAL EXAMINATION
The size of the uterus proportionate to the period of gestation
The uterus feels relaxed, soft and elastic without any localised area of tenderness
Persistence of malpresentation ( breech)
Head is floating
Fetal heart sound heard usually
Stallworthys sign
VAGINAL EXAMINATION SHOULD NOT BE DONE IN SUSPECTED
CONFIRMATION OF DIAGNOSIS
 LOCALISATION OF PLACENTA
 SONOGRAPHY
 TAS
 TVS
 Color Doppler flow study
 MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
CLINICAL
 By internal examination(double set up examination)
 Direct visualization during caesarean section
 Examination of the placenta following vaginal delivery
MANAGEMENT
 There are two types of management for placenta previa
based on certain criteria
 They are :
 Expectant management
 Active management
 The most important guiding principle is when the
mothers life is at risk dont think about saving the baby
MANAGEMENT
 IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
 Blood samples are taken
 A large bore IV cannula is sited
 Infusion of NS
 Gentle abdominal palpation
 Inspection of vulva
EXPECTANT MANAGEMENT - Macaffee and Johnson regime  Bed
rest  Periodic inspection  Supplementary hematinics  A gentle
speculum examination  Rh immunoglobulin  Termination done at 37
weeks  Steroid therapy - Inj betamethasone is given to hasten the
lung maturity of the fetus
CONT.
EXPECTANT MANAGEMENT - Macaffee and Johnson
regime
 Bed rest
 Periodic inspection
 Supplementary hematinics
 A gentle speculum examination
 Rh immunoglobulin
 Termination done at 37 weeks
 Steroid therapy  Inj. betamethasone is given to hasten
the lung maturity of the fetus
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT INDICATIONS
 Bleeding occurs at or after 37 weeks of pregnancy
 Patient is in labour
 Patient is exsaguinated state on admission
 Bleeding is continuing and of moderate degree
 Baby is dead or known to be congenitally malformed
 DEFINITIVE MANAGEMENT
 CESAREAN DELIVERY
 Placental edge is within 2cm from the internal os
 VAGINAL DELIVERY
 Placental edge is clearly 2-3cm away from the internal os
COMPLICATION MATERNAL
DURING PREGNANCY
 APH
 Malpresentation
 Premature labor
Complications during labour
MATERNAL
Early rupture of the
membrane
 Cord prolapse
 Slow dilation
 Intrapartum haemorrhage
 Increased incidence of
operative interference
PPH
FETAL
 Asphyxia
 Birth injury
 Low birth weight (m/c)
 IUD
 Congenital malformations
Abruptio placenta
DEFINITION
DEFINITION
Abruptio placenta is defined as
haemorrhage occurring in pregnancy due
to the separation of a normally situated
placenta. It is also called accidental
haemorrhage or premature separation of
placenta.
INCIDENCE  It is 1 : 200  It is less than
previa  Accounts for 5 % maternal mortality
and 20% perinatal mortality
Types of abruption
1. Revealed
 In this type the blood seeps between the decidua and the
membranes to present at the vagina
2. Concealed
 In this the blood gets collected behind the placenta and forms the
retro placental clot
 Sometimes it may be due to collection between the decidua and
membranes but it cant present at vagina because the presenting
part is firmly pressed over the cervix
3. Mixed
4.  In this type it is partly revealed and partly retroplacenta
