[quote=Anonymous]While I don't think I almost died, I do think (5 years ago) Sibley was not well prepared for my hemorrhaging. My husband had to beg for someone to come in the room as blood was steaming down my legs in labor (not pushing yet, so they'd left me for a bit) and they didn't have / couldn't locate multiple tools the Ob requested to help stop the bleeding. I was then monitored with hourly blood draws after delivery for 24 hours to see if I'd need a transfusion so that was exhausting. Second was born in California where we now live. I don't know if it's the 4.5 years between births, my history, or CA but the hospital here was VERY attentive and took a lot of measures to both prevent and prepare for potential hemorrhage (such as giving me a medication during labor to help).[/quote]
