, Classification
1. Threatened Miscarriage - Vaginal bleeding associated with
a viable intrauterine pregnancy up to 24 weeks gestation
2. Antepartum Haemorrhage - Vaginal bleeding from 24
weeks until the onset of labour
In some countries the cut-off to differentiate the above mentioned conditions is
20 weeks, as patients will tend to be managed in the delivery suite rather than
gynaecology ward.
3. Intrapartum Haemorrhage - Vaginal bleeding from the
onset of labour until the end of the 2nd stage of labour
4. Postpartum Haemorrhage – Vaginal bleeding from the third
stage of labour until the end of the puerperium (6 weeks
postpartum)
