Vaginal Bleeding in Pregnancy
How is the condition diagnosed?
Diagnosis of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy begins with a medical history and physical exam. The healthcare provider may perform a pelvic examination. This will determine how much bleeding there has been, whether the cervix has opened, and whether fetal tissue is present in the vagina.
The healthcare provider may order these tests:
blood tests to determine the amount of blood loss
pregnancy ultrasound
progesterone level blood test
repeated testing of beta HCG levels, or pregnancy hormone levels
