Summary: The use of grey scale B‐mode ultrasonography at the Royal North Shore Hospital of Sydney in the management of suspected threatened abortion is described. The results obtained with this technique indicate that it is a rapid, reliable means of evaluation of bleeding per vaginam in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, and should be considered as part of the routine investigation of threatened abortion.
