Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. It is defined as blood loss greater than 500ml after birth. PPH can occur in the first 24 hours (primary) or between 24 hours to 6 weeks (secondary). Risk factors include difficult labor, large babies, and placenta problems. Blood loss is often underestimated, so signs and symptoms like changes in vital signs are important to assess. Treatment involves emptying the uterus, giving uterotonic drugs, and compressing the uterus manually or with a balloon or sutures if needed. Transfusions and surgery may also be required for severe bleeding. Close monitoring is important after PPH to watch for further bleeding.
