Abstract

Feto-maternal hemorrhage (FMH) is a rare, potentially dangerous event characterized by the passage of fetal blood into the maternal circulation, complicating pregnancy or childbirth. Diagnosis of this condition is based on objective signs: cardiotocography, fetal ultrasound, fetal Doppler, Kleihauer–Betke test (KB) and subjective: assessment of fetal movement activity. If a pregnant woman complains of decreased fetal movement, an experienced doctor should not forget to exclude this dangerous condition. Massive FMH is associated with high perinatal morbidity and fetal mortality.
