    I had no trouble at all with my 4th baby - quick delivery, no hemorrhage, no issues. My 5th was born only 13 months later, and he was a brow-presentation posterior baby - easy labour for me, difficult delivery. But again, no bleeding, and no further trouble. Number 6 was another straightforward easy delivery.
    Babies 3, 5, and 6 were home births, and the only requirement my midwife had was that my hemoglobin levels were well within the normal range, to decrease my chances of PPH. (#4 was a hospital birth because I had GBS)

    I had a secondary PPH after my 4th baby, two hours after a very quick and easy labour and birth. I did have a retained placenta and smaller PPH after my 2nd though so it wasn't my first complication.
