    AbstractTransient altered fetal behavior manifested by decreased fetal biophysical score at 37 weeks' gestation following maternal injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident, represented an immediate fetal response to fetomaternal hemorrhage occurring during the accident. Although cesarean delivery had initially been considered due to fetal distress (fetal biophysical score of 4 of 10), the fetal biophysical score improved within 2 hr, permitting spontaneous vaginal delivery of a nonasphyxiated fetus, 24 hr after the traumatic event. To our knowledge this is the first report of a transient abnormal fetal biophysical profile in association with a large fetomaternal hemorrhage.
