Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:

- Have an awareness of the psychological issues related to early pregnancy loss
Approximately 25% of women experience vaginal bleeding and/or abdominal pain in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. It is not always an indication of a problem. However, pain and bleeding can sometimes be due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or rarely a molar pregnancy. It is important for a GP to be able to assess a woman who is bleeding in early pregnancy and take appropriate action to rule out potentially life-threatening causes.
