what causes you to hemorrhage after giving birth
Postpartum bleeding The most common cause is poor contraction of the uterus following childbirth.[2] Not all of the placenta being delivered, a tear of the uterus, or poor blood clotting are other possible causes.[2] It occurs more commonly in those who: already have a low amount of red blood, are Asian, with bigger or more than one baby, are obese or are older than 40 years of age.[2] It also occurs more commonly following caesarean sections, those in whom medications are used to start labor, and those who have an episiotomy.[2]
