Typically bleeding is related to the pregnancy itself, but some forms of bleeding are caused by other events. Obstetrical hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality . Antepartum hemorrhage main Antepartum hemorrhage Early pregnancy bleeding The most common bleeding event is the loss of a pregnancy, a miscarriage , medically also called an abortion. Bleeding from an early miscarriage may be similar to that of a heavy menstruation , but later on, a pregnancy loss may be accompanied by excessive or prolonged bleeding. A physician may propose to perform a Dilation and curettage D&C for treatment. An ectopic pregnancy may lead to bleeding, internally, that could be fatal if untreated.
