Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, premature labor and threatened miscarriage. [6] Ultrasonography is the preferred method of diagnosis. [7] A chorionic hematoma appears on ultrasound as a hypoechoic crescent adjacent to the gestational sac. The hematoma is considered small if it is under 20% of the size of the sac and large if ...

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] The loss of this small amount of blood may however be a sensitising event and stimulate antibody production to the foetal red blood cells, an example of which is Rhesus disease of the newborn.
Others have defined the condition as blood loss of greater than 1000 mL after either delivery method, or any amount of blood loss with signs and symptoms of hypovolemia. [7] Secondary postpartum bleeding is that which occurs after the 24 hours up to 12 weeks after childbirth.
