Neonatal vaginal haemorrhage - what does this mean

Neonatal vaginal haemorrhage is a condition in which a newborn baby experiences bleeding from the vagina. it is usually caused by a disruption in the normal hormonal balance of the mother during pregnancy, resulting in a decrease in the production of the hormone progesterone. this can lead to a weakening of the uterus and cervix, resulting in the bleeding.
