Qualifies as "need to know"

Something that would have been helpful. Something that would have prevented needless freakouts. Something that recent victims of a postpartum herorrhage should be informed of before leaving the hospital...

"Oh, you're bleeding again? Yeah, sometimes a couple weeks after a c-section, a woman will 'deliver' the remainder of the placenta and uterine lining. It will look like a very heavy period, but will be dark red rather than fresh red."

Thanks for letting me know. AFTER I have already gone pale-faced with fear of another bout of hemorrhage. Gah.
