One ml = One cc. 750 mls = 750 ccs

. FWIW, 750 cc is not an unusual loss at the time of delivery based upon anecdotal information I have received over the years. Is it possible the PPH may have been >>more? Blood transfusions are not usually required for a 750cc loss.

I agree. In fact, I have seen twice this blood loss without need for transfusion, and have seen this blood loss many times where no transfusion was required. I have never seen a transfusion for this amount of bleed loss. William's Obstetrics says up to 500cc's is the normal blood loss at a delivery.

Find out what your Hgb was before delivery. Perhaps this was part of the problem and you can concntrate on being in better shape (Hgbwise) prior to delivery.

Good Luck,
