Ultrasound showing a subchorionic hemorrhage [1] Chorionic hematoma is the pooling of blood ( hematoma ) between the chorion , a membrane surrounding the embryo , and the uterine wall . [ 2 ] It occurs in about 3.1% of all pregnancies , [ 2 ] it is the most common sonographic abnormality and the most common cause of first trimester bleeding .
Breus' mole is diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound, where a thick multilobulated hematoma can be seen beneath the chorion. Occasionally, subchorionic thrombohematoma may later become intraplacental, making its diagnosis difficult. The mole may be echogenic or hypoechoic depending upon the amount of fresh blood present in it. [3]
Implantation bleeding involves a small amount of bleeding that may occur 10 to 14 days after implantation of the fertilized egg. However, there is little evidence to support the existence of such bleeding. [10] Chorionic hematoma is the pooling of blood between the chorion, a membrane surrounding the embryo, and the uterine wall.
Young people are much less likely than middle-age people (risk ratio 0.1, or 10 percent) to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage. [90] The risk continues to rise with age and is 60 percent higher in the very elderly (over 85) than in those between 45 and 55. [90] Risk of SAH is about 25 percent higher in women over 55 compared to men the same age ...
Women entering a pregnancy with hypertension are considered to be put at a higher risk for preeclampsia or eclampsia during the course of their pregnancy. Hypertensive disorders, like hypertension, have been found to affect about 10% of pregnancies in the United States and have resulted in about 6.8% of maternal deaths from 2011 to 2015.
Of women with heavy menstrual bleeding, up to 20% will have a bleeding disorder. [24] Heavy menstrual bleeding since menarche is a common symptom for women with bleeding disorders, and in retrospective studies, bleeding disorders have been found in up to 62% of adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding.

Tranexamic acid, a clot stabilizing medication, may also be used to reduce bleeding and blood transfusions in low-risk patients, [31] however evidence as of 2015 was not strong. [2] A 2017 trial found that it decreased the risk of death from bleeding from 1.9% to 1.5% in women with postpartum bleeding. [3]
Fetal-maternal haemorrhage is the loss of fetal blood cells into the maternal circulation. It takes place in normal pregnancies as well as when there are obstetric or trauma related complications to pregnancy.
