    i had a long drawn out birth with dd1. drugs etc. 1200ml bleed, torn cervix, rushed to theatre to fix it etc was horrible. DD2 much quicker, not drugs, made the midwife check i was fully dilated before i did any pushing, turns out my cervix needed a little help at 91/2 cms. probably got 'stuck' the first time. normal loss the second time. its scary and i did freak out a bit the second time, but i had done so much to try and prevent PPH that it helped to know id done everything i could.

    I'd really like to know too. Because of a large PPH with DD, I've been 'risked out' of te public homebirth program here.
    I reckon it was because it was a fairly long labour

    I think mine was related to my high blood pressure and deteriorating placenta. It took a bit to get the placenta out. I had no bp problems with DS2 and no problems at all with labour and delivery. If it is related to bp with me then it is a matter of wait and see. I think I should wait and see if I do really want to have number 4 before I worry too much.
