Obstetric hemorrhage

Obstetric hemorrhage refers to excessive bleeding during or after childbirth, which can pose serious health risks to both the mother and the baby. It can occur due to various reasons, such as complications in the placenta, uterine issues, or tears during delivery. There are two main types: antepartum hemorrhage (bleeding before labor) and postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding after delivery). Timely medical intervention is crucial to manage the condition and ensure the safety of the mother. Proper prenatal care helps identify risk factors and prepare for any potential complications during childbirth.
