Definition of PPH ( NSVD/ c/s) early and delayed
Primary PPH – blood loss of 500ml or more (1000c/s) within 24hours of delivery. Secondary PPH – significant blood loss between 24 hours and 6 weeks after birth.

What are the potential side effects from systemic methotrexate administration?
Methotrexate morbidity usually is dose and treatment duration dependent. Because methotrexate affects rapidly dividing tissues, gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and stomatitis, are the most common. Therefore, women treated with methotrexate should be advised not to use alcohol and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Elevation of liver enzymes usually is seen only with multidose regimens and resolves after discontinuing methotrexate use or increasing the rescue dose of folinic acid (27). Alopecia is a rare side effect with the doses used to treat ectopic pregnancy. Women should report any fever or respiratory symptoms because pneumonitis has been reported

How should patients be counseled regarding prevention of alloimmunization after early pregnancy loss?
Women who are Rh(D) negative and unsensitized should receive 50 micrograms of Rh(D)-immune globulin immediately after surgical management of early pregnancy loss or within 72 hours of the diagnosis of early pregnancy loss with planned medical management or expectant management in the first trimester (50). It is reasonable to use the more readily available 300-microgram dose if the 50-microgram dose is unavailable.
300
How should patients be counseled regarding inter pregnancy interval after early pregnancy loss?
There are no quality data to support delaying conception after early pregnancy loss to prevent subsequent early pregnancy loss or other pregnancy complications. Small observational studies show no benefit to delayed conception after early pregnancy loss (46, 47). Abstaining from vaginal intercourse for 1–2 weeks after complete passage of pregnancy tissue generally is recommended to reduce the risk of infection, but this is not an evidence-based recommendation

Reported in 0.03-0.08% of all delivering women, but 0.3-1.7% among women with a history of a uterine scar, 13% occur outside the hospital Morbidity is hemorrhage and subsequent anemia, requiring transfusion Fetal morbidity is more common with extrusion and includes respiratory distress, hypoxia, acidemia, and neonatal death
What is uterine rupture

Evaluation of PPH
Has the placenta been delivered and is it complete? Is the uterus well-contracted? Is the bleeding due to trauma? ( vaginal wall, cervical) Foley catheter, bimanual massage

Are there any effective interventions to prevent early pregnancy loss?
There are no effective interventions to prevent early pregnancy loss. Therapies that have historically been recommended, such as pelvic rest, vitamins, uterine relaxants, and administration of β-hCG, have not been proved to prevent early pregnancy loss (55–57). Likewise, bed rest should not be recommended for the prevention of early pregnancy loss (58). A 2008 Cochrane review found no effect of prophylactic progesterone administration (oral, intramuscular, or vaginal) in the prevention of early pregnancy loss (59). For threatened early pregnancy loss, the use of progestins is controversial, and conclusive evidence supporting their use is lacking (60). Women who have experienced at least three prior pregnancy losses, however, may benefit from progesterone therapy in the first trimester

As opposed to a normal gestational sac, it is typically located centrally and may fill the entire endometrial cavity and it also lacks the “double ring” sign. Look at the picture for hint.

How is methotrexate used in the management of ectopic pregnancy?
Three protocols are published for the administration of methotrexate to treat ectopic pregnancy: 1) single dose, 2) two dose, and 3) fixed multidose (see the box, "Methotrexate Treatment Protocols"). The single 50 mg/m2 dose regimen is the simplest and has been shown by some to be as effective as the fixed multidose regimen, eliminating the need for folinic acid rescue to minimize side effects (22). However, a recent meta-analysis has shown the fixed multidose regimen to be more effective, especially in treating women with more advanced gestations and those with embryonic cardiac activity (19). A recent prospective study evaluating a two-dose regimen found high patient satisfaction, few side effects, and 87% treatment success (23).

Rarely reported condition in which the fetal vessels from the placenta cross the entrance to the birth canal Reported incidence varies, but most resources note occurrence in 1:2500 pregnancies Associated with a high fetal mortality rate (50-95%) which can be attributed to rapid fetal exsanguination resulting from the vessels tearing during labor
