Distinguishing anti-D, anti- C, and anti-G specificities is particularly essential in antenatal cases to ensure proper patient management. The clinical management as well as Rh immune globulin (RhIG) prophylaxis depend on the accurate identification of these distinct antibodies. D- pregnant women with anti-G, but without anti-D, in their serum need RhIG prophylaxis at 28 weeks of gestation, at delivery if the infant is D+, and when clinically indicated to prevent the formation of anti-D and potential hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN).

We present the case of a 30-year-old primigravida at 32 weeks gestation admitted with weakness and lethargy, which was diagnosed with impending uterine rupture, HELLP syndrome, and intrauterine fetal demise. An emergency cesarean section was performed, delivering a stillborn baby and uncovering 700 milliliters of blood clots in her abdominal cavity.

ALCAPA is a rare congenital anomaly that presents with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and mitral valve regurgitation. The mortality rate is roughly 90% if the intracoronary collateral isn't significantly augmented. Malignant arrhythmias resulting in sudden death are common, affecting nearly 90% of patients with a mean age of 35 years.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening condition that is a rare occurrence in pregnancy and can be elusive in its diagnosis thereby delaying treatment. We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient at 36 weeks of pregnancy who presented with a persistent fever that did not respond to antibiotics. After we investigated her thoroughly, considering the persistent fever, we performed a bone marrow biopsy as part of the workup for prolonged pyrexia.

Background: The prevalence of placenta accreta spectrum is on the rise, primarily as a consequence of an increasing number of Cesarean sections. Nevertheless, uterine anomalies, particularly uterine septum, pose a notable risk factor for its occurrence. While there are limited case reports documenting the association between uterine septum and placenta adherence, most of these cases have been linked to prior hysteroscopic treatment of the septum.
