Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Possible Placental Abruption or Preterm Labor
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High risk for maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality
- Active vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal pain in late pregnancy
- Contractions indicating preterm labor
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Placental Abruption (high probability given bleeding and pain)
2. Preterm Labor (high probability given contractions)
3. Placenta Previa (less likely given pain severity)
4. Uterine Rupture (less likely given no prior uterine surgery)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Maternal vital sign monitoring and assessment
- Fetal heart rate monitoring if available
- Preparation for rapid transport to the nearest hospital with obstetric services
