The women will fill out questionnaires regarding past illness, vaginal bleeding, and gynecologic history. Then they will undergo full examination including ultrasound.

Afterwards they will be monitored until their delivery date (filling questionnaires a month after coming to the E.R. and at the end of the pregnancy). After they give birth the investigators will assess the rate of pregnancy, obstetric and embryonic complications in each of the study groups.
