title: Emergencies in pregnant patients.
abstract: The principles of management of important obstetric emergencies, especially haemorrhagic complications, are presented. It is expected that the general practitioner will encounter more of these complications with the rise in non hospital births and with shared antenatal management. This paper is the first of a series on obstetric emergencies.
