What if there is too much bleeding (hemorrhage)?
Although rare, some mothers will hemorrhage at after birth. Licensed Midwives have many procedures and carry Herbs and Medications (the same ones as used at the Hospital) to stop hemorrhage. IV fluids are available and can be given as well. In severe cases, a mother will be transferred if the Midwife feels that it is necessary.
