Antepartum hemorrhage is bleeding from or into the genital tract after the 28th week of pregnancy but before birth. It can be caused by conditions like placental abnormalities, trauma, or preeclampsia. It requires immediate medical attention.

Antepartum hemorrhage is defined as bleeding from or into the genital tract after the 28th week of pregnancy but before the birth of the baby.

Causes of antepartum hemorrhage include placental bleeding, implantation bleeding, local lesions, cervical polyps, placenta praevia, carcinoma of the cervix, abruptio placenta, cervical ectropion, varicose veins, and local trauma.

 Hypertension in pregnancy is the most important predisposing
factor. Pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension and essential
Hypertension, all are associated with placental abruption. The
association of pre-eclampsia in abruptio placenta varies from 10-50
percent. The mechanism of the placental separation in pre-
eclampsia is : Spasm of the vessels in the utero placental bed
(decidual spiral artery) → anoxic endothelial damage → rupture of
vessels or extravasation of blood in the decidua basalis
(retroplacental hematoma).
 Trauma: Traumatic separation of the placenta usually leads to its
marginal separation with escape of blood outside. The trauma may
be due to:
(i) Attempted external cephalic version specially under

anaesthesia using great force
(ii) Road traffic accidents or blow on the abdomen
(iii) Needle puncture at amniocentesis.
 Sudden uterine decompression: Sudden decompression of the
uterus leads to diminished surface area of the uterus adjacent to
the placental attachment and results in separation of the placenta.
This may occur following—(a) delivery of the first baby of twins
(b) Sudden escape of liquor amnii in hydramnios and
(c) Premature rupture of membranes.
 Short cord, either relative or absolute, can bring about placental
separation during labor by mechanical pull.
 Supine hypotension syndrome: In this condition which occurs in
pregnancy there is passive engorgement of the uterine and
placental vessels resulting in rupture and extravasation of the
blood.
 Placental anomaly: Circumvallate placenta.
 Sick placenta: Poor placentation, evidenced by abnormal uterine
artery Doppler waveforms is associated with placental abruption.
 Folic acid deficiency even without evidence of overt megaloblastic
erythropoiesis — this has been observed to be associated.
 Uterine factor: Placenta implanted over a septum (Septate Uterus)
or a submucous fibroid.
 Torsion of the uterus leads to increased venous pressure and
rupture of the veins with separation of the placenta.
 Cocaine abuse is associated with increased risk of transient
hypertension, vasospasm and placental abruption.

However, depending upon the extent of pathology, there may be


degeneration and necrosis of the decidua basalis as well as the placenta
adjacent to it.

Rupture of the basal plate may also occur, thus communicating the
hematoma with the intervillous space.

The decidual hematoma may be small and self limited; the entity is evident
only after the expulsion of the placenta (retroplacental hematoma).
The features of retroplacental hematoma are :
(a) Depression found on the maternal surface of the placenta with a clot
which may be found firmly attached to the area
(b) Areas of infarction with varying degree of organization.

The complicating factors those are responsible for increased maternal
death varies from 2–8%. However, with better understanding in the
management of shock, coagulation failure and renal failure, maternal
death has been reduced markedly. Some cases who manage to survive
may develop features of ischemic pituitary necrosis. There is failure of
lactation (Sheehan’s syndrome) later on.

FETAL: In revealed type, the fetal death is to the extent of 25-30%. In


concealed type, however, the fetal death is appreciably high, ranging from
50-100%. The deaths are due to prematurity and anoxia due to placental

Prevention of known factors likely to cause placental separation are
 Early detection and effective therapy of pre-eclampsia and other
hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
 Needle puncture during amniocentesis should be under ultrasound
guidance.
 Avoidance of trauma—especially forceful external cephalic version
under anaesthesia.
 To avoid sudden decompression of the uterus— in acute or chronic
hydramnios, amniocentesis is preferable to artificial rupture of the
membranes.
 To avoid supine hypotension the patient is advised to lie in the left
lateral position in the later months of pregnancy.
 Routine administration of folic acid from the early pregnancy — of

Definitive treatment (immediate delivery): The patient is in labor: Most


patients are in labor following a term pregnancy: The labor is accelerated
by low rupture of the membranes. Rupture of the membranes with escape
of liquor amnii accelerates labor and it increases the uterine tone also.

oxytocin 10.IU IV (slow) or IM or Inj. Methergin 0.2 mg IV is given
with the delivery of the baby to minimise postpartum blood loss.
Oxytocics should be used to improve the uterine tone along with
blood transfusion.
(B) Cesarean section: Indications are :
(a) Severe abruption with live fetus
(b) Amniotomy could not be done (unfavorable cervix)
(c) Prospect of immediate vaginal delivery despite amniotomy is
remote
(d) Amniotomy failed to control bleeding
(e) Amniotomy failed to arrest the process of abruption (rising
fundal height)
(f) Appearance of adverse features (fetal distress, falling fibrinogen
level, oliguria).
Anesthesia during cesarean section: Regional anesthesia is generally
avoided when there is significant hemorrhage. This is to avoid profound
and persistent hypotension Expectant management in a case of placental
abruption is an exception and not the rule. Cases where bleeding is slight
and has stopped (Grade I abruption), fetus reactive (CTG) and remote from
term, may be considered. The goal of expectant management is to prolong
the pregnancy with the hope of improving fetal maturity and survival.
Continuous electronic fetal monitoring is maintained. Patient should be
observed in the labor ward for 24-48 hours to ensure that no further
placental separation is occurring. Meanwhile betamethasone is given to
accelerate fetal lung maturity in the event preterm delivery has to be
contemplated. Further separation of placenta at any moment may cause

fetal death or maternal complications. This is the major risk of
conservative management.
Management of complications : The major complications of placental
abruption are:
(a)Hemorrhagic shock.
(b) DIC.
(c) Renal failure and
(d) Uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage.
Hypovolemia should be corrected early. Blood pressure may not be a
correct guide to assess shock, as it may be high due to severe degree of
vasospasm. Irrespective of the patient’s general condition, at least one
litre of blood transfusion should be the minimum when the diagnosis of
concealed accidental hemorrhage is made. The best guide to monitor the
patient is the use of central venous pressure (CVP), which is maintained at
10 cm of water. Hematocrit should be at least 30% and urinary output > 30
mL/h.
A. Hemorrhagic shock—Classification of obstetric hemorrhagic is based
upon volume deficit.
B. DIC—Release of tissue thromboplastin in placental abruption causes
consumptive coagulopathy. Diagnosis is based on the coagulation profile
assessment. Treatment is to restore the hematologic deficiency (fibrinogen
level > 150 mg/ dL), 1 unit (500 mL) of fresh blood contains 0.5 mL g of
fibrinogen and raises the fibrinogen level by 12.5 mg/dL. Platelet count
Increases by 10,000–15,000/cu mm to replenish the volume deficit and to

be a possible cause of such bleeding.

VASA PREVIA: The unsupported umbilical vessels in velamentous placenta,


lie below the presenting part and run across the cervical os. These vessels
are torn either spontaneously or during rupture of membranes.
Color-flow Doppler is helpful for antenatal diagnosis. Fetal mortality is high
(50%) due to fetal exsanguination. Detection of nucleated red blood cells
(Singer’s alkali denaturation test) or fetal hemoglobin is diagnostic.
Vaginal bleeding is often associated with fetal distress (tachycardia,
sinusoidal FHR tracing).
MANAGEMENT: Management depends on fetal gestational age, severity,
persistence or recurrence of bleeding, and the presumed cause of
bleeding.
A) Pregnancy > 37 weeks and bleeding recurrent — delivery is
recommended. The mode of delivery depends on the state of the fetus,
and other associated factors (cervix).

over the dating of the pregnancy if the menstrual is used to estimate the
date of birth.
2. CERVICAL POLYPS
These are small, vascular, pedunculated growths on the cervix, which
consist of squamous or columnar epithelial cells over a core of connective
tissue rich with blood vessels. During pregnancy, the polyps may be a
cause of bleeding but require no treatment unless the bleeding is severe
or a smear test indicates malignancy.
3. CARCINOMA OF THE CERVIX
Carcinoma of the cervix is the most common gynaecological malignant
disease occurring in pregnancy with an estimated incidence of 1 in 2200
pregnancies .The condition presents with vaginal bleeding and increased
vaginal discharge. On speculum examination the appearance of the cervix
may lead to a suspicious of carcinoma, which is diagnosed following
colposcopy or a cervical biopsy.
The precursor to cervical cancer is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN),
which can be diagnosed from an abnormal papanicolaou (PAP) smear.
Where this is diagnosed at early stage, treatment can usually be
postponed for the duration of the pregnancy. The Pap smear is not
routinely carried out during pregnancy , but the midwife should ensure

OBJECTIVE LEARNING
ACTIVITY
that pregnant women know about the National Health Service Screening
Programme(2013), recommending a smear 6 weeks postnatally if one has
not been carried out in the previous 3 years.

Treatment for cervical carcinoma in pregnancy will depend on the


gestation of the pregnancy and the stage of the disease, and full
explanations of treatments and their possible outcomes should be given to
the woman and her family. For carcinoma in the early stages, treatment
may be delayed until the end of the pregnancy, or a cone biopsy may be
performed under general anaesthetic to remove the affected tissue.
However there is risk of hemorrhage due to the increased vascularity of
the cervix of the cervix in the pregnancy, as well as the risk of miscarriage.
Where the disease is more advanced and the diagnosis made in early
pregnancy, the woman may be offered a termination of pregnancy in
order to receive the treatment, as the effects of chemotherapy and
radiotherapy on the fetus cannot be accurately predicted at the present
time. During the late second and third trimester the obstetric and
oncology teams will consider the optimal time for birth in order to achieve
the best outcomes for both mother and the baby.
4. CERVICAL ECTROPION
More commonly known as cervical erosion. The changes seen in cases of
cervical ectropion are as a physical response to hormonal changes that
occur in pregnancy. The number of columnar epithelial cells in the cervical
canal increase significantly under the influence of estrogen during
pregnancy to such an extent that they extend beyond to the vaginal
surface of the cervical os, giving it a dark red appearance. As this area is
vascular, and the cells form only a single layer, bleeding may occur either

spontaneously or following sexual intercourse. Normally, no treatment is
required, and the ectropion reverts back to normal cervical cells during the
