I had a hemorrhage last year after giving birth and wondered if anyone could clarify somthing for me. Initially it was estimated I had lost 800mls, but 24 hours later my blood results came back and ,my hemoglobin levels had fallen to 7.1 from 12.8, so it was recommended I had a transfusion of two units. Because of this the midwife said I had probably lost more blood than first thought. I was certainly unable to stand without passing out before being transfused. My question is, how much blood would I have lost to have such a low hemoglobin level, and would my hematocrit level have dropped more than 10% with such a blood loss? Hope you can help - I am curious to know the facts before embarking on another pregnancy.
