Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as a loss of blood in the postpartum period of more than 500 mL. In cesarean births the average blood loss rises to 8001000 mL. In the majority of cases the cause of bleeding is uterine atony, meaning that the uterus is not contracting enough to control the bleeding at the placental site.
