Postpartum Bleeding — When It Is Too Much
प्रसव के बाद ज़्यादा रक्तस्राव
Bleeding after birth is normal. Bleeding too much is the single biggest cause of maternal death — around 30% of all direct maternal deaths worldwide, and more than half in some countries. Most of it happens in the first 24 hours, but it can also happen days or weeks later, at home, when everyone has stopped watching. Anaemic women — which is most Indian women — can become dangerously unwell from an amount of blood loss another woman would tolerate. This page is about knowing the line.
