Abstract

Antepartum haemorrhage (APH) is an obstetric emergency contributing to a signicant amount of perinatal & maternal morbidity and mortality (1). It is dened as bleeding from or into the genital tract after 28 weeks of gestation (2). It occurs in 2-5% of pregnancies and is an important cause of fetal and maternal mortality (3). Thirty percent of maternal deaths are caused by antepartum haemorrhage of which 50% are associated with avoidable factors (4). In India, the prevalence of antepartum haemorrhage is reported to be 18.8 % (5). The main causes of APH are placenta previa, abruptio placentae, indeterminate cause or local causes of genital tract.
