ABSTRACT Massive subchorionic hemorrhage is a rare but serious condition in pregnancy in which a large amount of blood, mainly maternal collects between the uterine wall and the chorionic membrane and may leak through the cervical canal. Although many associations have been reported, an underlying etiology has not been elucidated. Association of massive subchorionic hemorrhage with thrombophilias have been reported in few articles. We are reporting a case of massive subchorionic hemorrhage presented at 13 weeks of gestation associated with secondary post-partum hemorrhage due to uterine artery pseudoaneurysm. Keywords: Massive subchorionic haemorrhage, Secondary PPH, Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm INTRODUCTION hemorrhage in the second trimester may also compromise maternal health.2,3 During pregnancy, minor degrees of haemorrhage on the chorionic plate surface of the placenta are commonly A subchorionic hemorrhage can be considered large or identified on ultrasound assessment.

Hematomas, especially subchorionic hematomas, appear most often during the first trimester of pregnancy and can occur with or without vaginal bleeding. They are always a major cause for concern for pregnant women. We will consider pregnancy as a high risk pregnancy. It will then be necessary for the woman to keep rest and benefit from more exhaustive follow-up. This work, carried out from a case observed in our service and from a review of the literature, aims to highlight the existence of this entity and the possible unfavorable development with fetal and maternal risks.

  • 1. State That Your Patient Is Pregnant Or Postpartum. the Pregnancy 2
    Louisiana Guidelines for Drafting Work Accommodation Notes for Pregnant and Postpartum Patients *These guidelines apply only in Louisiana. Visit the Pregnant@Work website (www.pregnantatwork.org) for other states. ACOG’s Committee Opinion on Employment Considerations (#733) recommends that obstetric care providers assist their patients to obtain accommodations by writing appropriate notes to employers following these state-specific guidelines. Attached as Appendix A is a sample work note that maximizes the likelihood that your patient will receive the accommodation she needs to continue working. Louisiana law1 requires employers with 25 or more employees: • To temporarily transfer a pregnant employee to a less strenuous or hazardous position based on the advice of her physician, where a position exists and is open, and where the pregnant woman is qualified to perform the job. • To provide leave to a woman who is disabled on account of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, during the period of her disability, but for no more than 4 months. Federal and state law may also require employers to provide a pregnant woman accommodations other than transfer or leave, so she can continue working safely. Health care providers can play an important role in enabling patients to receive the accommodations they need to keep their jobs during pregnancy and following childbirth. In most cases, the goal is to write a note that will assist your patient to receive the accommodation she needs to continue working and earning an income for the family she supports. Before you recommend that a pregnant patient take leave or adopt a reduced schedule, see “Caution: Recommending leave” under #6 below.

Aim of the work: To assess utility of ultrasound in detection of threatened abortion in early pregnancy. Patients and Methods: One-hundred females with history of threatened abortion were included. A written consent was obtained from each participant. Patients were divided into two groups: Group [I]: 85 Cases who continued their pregnancy. Group [II]: 15 Cases ended by abortion. All females were submitted to: detailed history, clinical examination [General and abdominal] and investigations in the form of ultrasound. Data were collected and statistically analyze. Results: 15% of studied females had early miscarriage. There was a significant relation between occurrence of abortion and gestational age as abortion was more frequent with reduced gestational age. In addition, high parity [P1-2] was significantly associated with abortion.

  • Antenatal Steroids for Women at Risk of Preterm Delivery
    Revised: November 2020 ANTENATAL STEROIDS FOR WOMEN AT RISK OF PRETERM DELIVERY CHOICE OF AGENT: Two regimens of antenatal glucocorticoid treatment have evolved and are effective for accelerating fetal lung maturity 1. Betamethasone (two doses of 12 mg given intramuscularly 24 hours apart) preferred agent if available. 2. Dexamethasone (four doses of 6 mg given intramuscularly 12 hours apart). GESTATIONAL AGE AT ADMINISTRATION: 1. Administration of steroids for patients with threatened and imminent periviable birth at less than 220/7 weeks is not recommended. 2. Administration of steroids for patients with threatened and imminent periviable birth between 220/7 and 236/7 weeks can be considered after counseling by both MFM and NICU based on existing evidence.1-4 3. All fetuses between 240/7 and 336/7 weeks of gestation at risk of preterm delivery should be considered candidates for antenatal treatment with corticosteroids regardless of membrane status (intact or ruptured). 4. In women with a singleton pregnancy between 340/7 and 366/7 weeks who are at high risk for preterm birth within next 7 days (and before 370/7 weeks of gestation), we recommend treatment with a course of betamethasone (without tocolysis) provided they meet eligibility criteria. a. Inclusion criteria: i. Singleton pregnancy ii. Gestational age at presentation between 340/7 and 366/7 weeks iii. High probability of delivery (any one of the following): 1. Preterm labor with intact membranes and at least 3cm dilation or 75% effacement 2. Delivery expected by induction of labor or cesarean section in no less than 24 hours and no more than 7 days, as deemed necessary by the provider.
