A woman at 33 weeks presents with sudden abdominal pain and a small antepartum haemorrhage. She is normotensive and the CTG is initially reassuring. Her booking history shows a first-trimester intrauterine haematoma associated with threatened miscarriage, which subsequently resolved completely.
Which interpretation of that early-pregnancy history is most appropriate?

Risk assessment
A woman planning another pregnancy previously had a placental abruption complicated by fetal growth restriction.
