Ep123: Postpartum Hemorrhage

July 13, 2021

Today’s episode is an important one about postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. We’ve gotten better over the past several years but it still happens. Postpartum hemorrhage can be scary because you’re entirely dependent on the hospital staff to promptly recognize and treat the situation. Depending on how severe it is you may have trouble advocating for yourself. It’s important to know how serious this can be and have an idea of what you should expect if you have increased bleeding after birth.
