We present a case with an incidental finding of abnormal cardiotocography (CTG) pattern as well as elevated middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) in an otherwise inconspicuous pregnancy. Massive fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) was detected as the cause by flow cytometry (FC), resulting in multiple cycles of fetal blood sampling (FBS) showing severe anemia, intrauterine transfusions (IUTs), a preterm delivery, and a healthy infant in follow-up examinations.
