Summary Twenty‐two patients with antepartum haemorrhage and seven with late threatened abortion were investigated to see whether there was a correlation between the magnitude of feto‐maternal bleeding and the outcome of the pregnancy. It was found that the greater the feto‐maternal transfusion the greater the incidence of placental infarction and of fetal distress in labour. No correlation was found between the amount of revealed antepartum haemorrhage and placental damage.
