15.2 Hemorrhage
Bleeding is a major cause of maternal mortality and of complications associ-
ated with childbirth [25]. In fact, a blood transfusion is required in 1–2% of
pregnancies [26-27]. In most women, however, the loss of blood is tolerated
due to the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, as discussed
above.
