Fetomaternal bleeding as a cause of recurrent fetal morbidity and mortality.
A woman had fetomaternal bleeding of unknown cause during at least three of five pregnancies. Each event was associated with significant fetal morbidity or mortality. Although fetomaternal bleeding has been reported as a cause of unexplained fetal death, its occurrence in subsequent pregnancies has not been described previously.
