Abstract :

Pregnancy is a significant event in a woman�s life. The occurrence of vaginal bleeding in first trimester often reults in anxiety regarding the outcome of pregnancy for the couple.

Aim: To study associated risk factors and feto-maternal outcomes of patients with bleeding per vaginum in first trimester.

Results: Bleeding in early pregnancy leads to increased risk of abortion, preterm rupture of memanes and increased risk of operative intervention in mothers. Bleeding in early pregnancy is related to preterm birth, low birth weight and small-for-gestational age infants, which suggest that early gestational vaginal bleeding predicts suboptimal pregnancy outcome.

When bleeding results in loss of pregnancy, it usually represents a significant emotional disruption in a woman�s life. Appropriate counselling regarding bleeding in early pregnancy and the ability to predict the possible outcome of that pregnancy could alleviate anxiety and assist the couple in coping with the consequences.
