Transfusion after birth From: AP (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 31 Jan 2001 17:07:17 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Lynn D.

Montgomery, MD: "Re: Transfusion after birth" I had a normal deliver with my son--no extensive bleeding, no hematoma (so they said)just a 3rd degree laceration. However, 2 days after he was born my hematocrit was 20 and I was passing out due to low blood levels. They decided I needed a transfusion and I got 2 units of blood. My question: What criteria do they use to decide when a woman needs a transfusion? Is a 20 hematocrit so low? What can I do the next time to prevent needing a transfusion? I was slightly anemic before giving birth--would that have been enough or did I lose more blood than they thought? Next message: Lynn D.
