Results: 70 patients were analysed based on age, parity, gestational age and the outcome of the pregnancy and it was analysed that vaginal bleeding was more common in Multigravida, in the age group of 25-30. It was also noted that 5weeks to 10weeks of gestation was the commonest period in which vaginal bleeding outcome and majority of pregnancies in this study population had poor pregnancy outcome.
