"If

this was true. It seems to me
There is liquor mixed in the blood at a vaginal
birth too. Estimating/weighing blood loss is always going to be inaccurate. I
have never seen anyone weight the abdominal packs after a C/S Is this usual

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
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.

Lyn,
Voltaren PR may have some impact, but the woman may not notice as I
am sure after pains would still break through voltaren. A fast acting
analgesic given pre feed may be more appropriate, as at other times there
is no pain at all. Might be worth a chat with a pharmacist. However, I

Thanks Nicole and Megan for your

help.

Taking Arnica a week before Estimated due and
continue taking it afterwards. It not only helps with after birth pains but
promotes healing as well. A Naturopath will have it or some of the larger health
food stores do also.

suffered with these pains, which can be as strong as labour pain, I'm sure mine
was. The best thing I found was heating up a hot pack prior to starting to feed.
Also taking a dose of soluble Panadeine at the same time. They only last two
days or so.

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.

Doctors have provoked controversy by suggesting premature babies should not
always be treated because they are "bed blocking".
They said that in some cases, prem
