'I lost so much blood giving birth I can't work as a nurse any more'

Article excerpt

A nurse who hemorrhaged severely during childbirth has been forced to leave her profession, unable to return to the demands of hospital work. Postpartum hemorrhage, excessive bleeding after delivery, is becoming more common, according to doctors, though the reasons remain unclear. The condition, which can be life-threatening, leaves some women with long-term physical effects that complicate their careers and daily lives. Medical professionals warn that the trend raises urgent questions about maternal health and hospital preparedness, even as individual cases like this nurse's highlight the human cost of the rising rates.
