Will a pregnant woman die from heavy bleeding?

Generally, if a pregnant woman has a difficult delivery, she will often suffer from internal bleeding. Once internal bleeding occurs, the pregnant woman's condition will be very dangerous.

So, will a pregnant woman die from internal bleeding during difficult delivery? Let us find out together.

Will a pregnant woman die from internal bleeding during childbirth?

Because women have to spend a lot of physical energy when giving birth, especially when pregnant women have difficult labor, it is more serious, and it is also possible that the blood vessels in the reproductive system will rupture and cause internal bleeding during childbirth. At this time, because the body is very weak and internal bleeding occurs, it is easy to cause the decline of internal organs and excessive blood loss and death.

It is very common for pregnant women to have difficult labor. In the past, it was a fatal disease. Now that medical technology is more advanced, such a situation is less likely to occur. Because everyone attaches great importance to it, once discomfort occurs, everyone is very worried. Pregnant women pay great attention to physical examinations. If there are any problems in the middle and late stages, the doctor will recommend a cesarean section to better ensure the health of the pregnant woman and the baby.

What are the causes of difficult childbirth?

The so-called dystocia, in simple terms, means that the fetus is difficult to deliver and the pregnant woman cannot give birth to the baby successfully. In medicine, it refers to abnormal delivery of pregnant women, that is, the delivery process of pregnant women is different from the normal process. Dystocia generally refers to some abnormal phenomena that occur during the process of childbirth, such as abnormalities in the mother's uterine structure, weak uterine contractions, or a narrow pelvis, which lead to problems in the delivery of the baby.

The key to determining whether a pregnant woman has a difficult labor lies in four aspects: labor force, birth canal, fetus and the mentality of the pregnant woman. The presence of any of the above factors will lead to difficult labor. Therefore, once a pregnant woman shows signs of dystocia, they should be handled properly.

Pregnancy is a happy and scary thing. As for the babies, we are very concerned about their healthy lifestyle, so regular check-ups are very important. In order to ensure the health of the baby, once any discomfort occurs, treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions, which can have a very good effect. If the baby's body is threatened or the mother has problems, it is a very serious matter.

What is the probability of death from internal bleeding during childbirth?

Postpartum hemorrhage includes three stages: after the delivery of the fetus and before the delivery of the embryo, from the delivery of the embryo to 2 hours after delivery, and from 2 hours to 24 hours after delivery. It mostly occurs in the first two stages. Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the key causes of death among pregnant women, ranking first in China. Once a pregnant woman suffers from postpartum hemorrhage, the prognosis is serious. If the shock is severe and lasts longer, even if she is rescued, she may still develop serious complications of secondary hypopituitarism (Sheehan syndrome), so prevention work should be taken very seriously.

The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage ranges from 3% to 11%, with an average of 7%. The uterus is not big before pregnancy, but it enlarges as the baby grows after pregnancy, and the endometrium is also stretched. Once the embryo is born, the huge hollow cavity may cause bleeding, and several thousand ml of blood vessels will rupture in a short period of time. For ordinary women, although the increased blood flow during pregnancy is only about 5000ml, several thousand ml will come out in more than ten minutes, seriously endangering the health of pregnant women. Therefore, postpartum hemorrhage is still the leading cause of death of pregnant women worldwide.

Pregnant women who give birth vaginally have a bleeding of more than 500ml, or pregnant women who give birth by cesarean section have a bleeding of more than 1000ml. Generally, bleeding after vaginal delivery is widely underestimated, because from the moment the fetus is delivered to the moment the uterus is completely contracted, hundreds of ml of blood may be lost, and some pregnant women do not feel any discomfort after bleeding. Therefore, although according to their definition, bleeding exceeding 500 ml is considered postpartum hemorrhage, in fact not every such pregnant woman is judged to have abnormalities after giving birth.

But generally, before and after delivery, everyone pays attention to the bleeding of pregnant women. However, even if you pay attention to the blood matching, it is still possible to happen. Of course, it is related to many factors. For example, people with gestational hypertension, anemia, uterine atony, and diabetes are very prone to postpartum hemorrhage.
