Post Partum Haemorrhage - How Serious?From: Heather (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 31 Jul 2001 18:43:49 -0500 (CDT)
In delivering my daughter (induction with prostin at 38 weeks due to cholestasis, epidural, syntocinon augmentation) I experienced a two litre PPH immediately after the delivery of the placenta (sytometrin given 2 minutes after birth, extremely easy cord traction.) Treatment included 3 units of blood, hemobate (?), ergometrine, and another fluid replacement product, and my blood pressure never dropped. I understand that the cholestasis could have been a contributing factor in the PPH and that it is likely to happen each time I give birth. What I don't understand though is how two litres figures in the scope of things: is that a minor, moderate, or large haemorrhage? I know, it's a bit of a morbid question, but how serious was that amount of blood loss? I just want a little closure. Thanks very much!
