Early PPH is also known as primary,or acute,PPH; late PPH is known as secondary PPH.Unfortunately,PPH can occur with little warning and is often recognized only after the mother has profound symptoms.Traditionally,a 500-ml blood loss after a vaginal birth and a 1000-ml blood loss after a cesarean birth constitute PPH.Medical personnel tend to underestimate blood loss by as much as 50% in their subjective observations.
