We’ll need more information to help.
what exactly are you talking about? the doctor should be taking care of any postpartum hemorrhage
The hospital should have set you up. When I had it, they sent a worker to my hospital room and we set up when the nurse would be at my house, until the doctor cleared me.
I am not 100% sure what you are asking, but I am taking a guess.
If you happen to have postpartum hemorrage (or have already been diagnosed as “going to have it” the following are possible ways to treat it.
Treatment for postpartum hemorrhage may include:
medication (to stimulate uterine contractions)
manual massage of the uterus (to stimulate contractions)
removal of placental pieces that remain in the uterus
examination of the uterus and other pelvic tissues
packing the uterus with sponges and sterile materials (to compress the bleeding area in the uterus)
tying-off of bleeding blood vessels
laparotomy – surgery to open the abdomen to find the cause of the bleeding.
hysterectomy – surgical removal of the uterus; in most cases, this is a last resort.
Review all of these options with your doctor and make it clear if there is a procedure that you DON’t want.
Usually you don’t need nursing care. It is taken care of in the same place as where you deliver. (There is a more likely chance of hemorrhage if you have a c-section) You will be in the ward until the bleeding is controled. There is a chance that is is delayed. If you are discharged, keep a close eye on your bleeding, and report back to your doctor immediatly if signs occur.
