Results: 11 cases were seen below 20 years of age, 24 were in 20-25 years age group, 10 were in 25-30 years, 13 were beyond 30 years of age. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Ultrasound findings were threatened abortion in 31, missed abortion in 14, blighted ovum in 3, incomplete abortion in 4, complete abortion in 2, Hydatidiform mole in 3 and Pregnancy with Cu-T in 1. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a useful tool in first trimester bleeding.
