I think it's because all the liquor is measured in with the blood loss in the suction bottles at a C/S. It totals 1000mls but 50% of it is probably not blood, that is just the ETBL documented as total fluid loss. It's difficult/impossible to differentiate the blood from liquor/body fluid so they all get totalled in.
The women aren't all symptomatic of a PPh post C/S are they ? Then you'd worry.
 
With kind regards

Who is doing the caesars to get such a huge loss? The usual blood loss for
uncomplicated c/s where I work is 3-400mls, I think that is pretty well par
for the course.

I have heard that a standard 100mls is lost with every c/s.  How big was
this womens pph.  Its strange (or typical)  how at a vaginal birth a women
can loose 600mls and thats a considered pph but at a c/s 100mls is not.

Women also have PPH's at caesarean. Not sure if c/s would be safer. Perhaps
she should see another ob for a second opinion.

  Hello all,



  A woman on my forums has had two normal births of big babies - 11lb3oz and
13lb5oz and had a PPH with both. Her Ob is now recommending a c/s with her
third bub and wants a scan at 34 weeks as a deciding factor of this. She
wants a normal birth - is it okay just for her to say no without too much
risk with PPH?
