ok but what would cause a woman to bleed alot during child birth?

Answer 1

When a woman is pregnant, the womb is full of blood and other nastiness. That comes out. Also, sometimes the vagina is ripped/cut and there is bleeding associated with that. Also, sometimes the womans insides can be torn during childbirth which can cause a lot blood loss, infertility and death.

Answer 2

There are many things; one being the placenta tearing from the uterine wall prematurly. There are lots of blood vessles and capillaries that can burst as well. But predicting where someone might bleed out isn't always easy. kind of like guessing where the best place to sit in a car would be in a crash; it all depends on the kind of crash. More often than not, the Dr. can't find the source of the bleeding, and worst case scenario will perform an emergency hysterectomy to save the woman's life. That's unusal tho. In fact, bleeding too much is not common at all. But let me tell you that the first time you see it, if you are not used to it and you dont know what to expect, it ALLLLL looks like too much blood!!!!

Answer 3

You may have an abnormal clotting disorder. When my children were born I had so much bleeding I was given several units of blood. When the second child was born, my doctor ordered bleeding time tests which lead him to test for a clotting disorder called Von Willebrand's disease. Its a lack of the clotting factor 8 - there is a med that will help your blood clot for dental work, surgery, childbirth etc- DDAVP Stimate. Talk to your doctor or a hematologist.

Answer 4

hello,
well you have to think you just carried a baby 9 almost 10 months and your uterus just got stretched from fist size to a 5-7 pound baby...so its you body tiring to get the shape back....i bled 1 1/2 years after my first and only 1 week after my 2nd so it all depends on your body....if its not continuous then don't worry about it.....just go to the gyn and see why your bleeding so heavily and if they are not worried about it then nothing is wrong....second if they thought something was wrong they would not have released you from the hospital...it all depends on your body and how fast it heals...and how big the baby was...every thing has a factor in how your body reacts to things people can't say what they think they are not you or your doctor....so if your worried about it then get it checked out but it is normal for women to bleed for periods at a time....good luck:)
