stupid question coming... how did they know exactly how many mls you gals lost? how did they measure it? i am sure it was all over the place, not exactly straight into a measuring cup! eeeek!

i dont know how much i lost but i remember i was only about 3cm dilated and i had bright red blood (alot) and no one seemed too worried. i was freaking out. apparantly i was bearing down on an unready cervix..
