Placental Abruption• MEDICAL EMERGENCY• Patient presents with pain• Placenta has detached from uterine wall
Risk factors• Smoking• Clotting disorders• Cocaine use• Previous placental

“Level of shock does not correlate with volume of blood loss”

Placenta Praevia• When the placenta lies close to the internal Os• Usually expectant management
Patient presents with..Painless, bright red bleeding
Investigations• Ultrasound
Bedrest and ‘watchful waiting’In uncomplicated pregnancies
Debate as to whether C-section or Vaginal delivery is best

Pre-eclampsia• Hypertension; 140/90+• Proteinuria 300mg (+++)
• ..can also have oedema of hands and face
Occurs after 20 weeks gestation

Investigations• FBC - why?• Urinalysis – PCR• BP• U&Es & LFTS• CTG (every two days)
