Abstract
The frequency and volume of transplacental hemorrhage that occurs with threatened abortions is unknown. The use of Rh immune globulin for su ch patients is therefore undefined. We studied the incidence and quant ity of transplacental hemorrhage in patients with threatened abortions and in a control population of patients presenting in the first 20 we eks of pregnancy without a history of bleeding. Using the Kleihauer-Be tke test, the incidence of transplacental hemorrhage in our control an d study population was not statistically different.
