I had first 3 DC in hosp, no particular problems.
Had a planned home birth with no.4, but had a PPH shortly after and had to go in ambulance to hosp, (midwives were still at the house etc).
I was told it was major, lost 1700mls blood (although I had a 40 min ambulance drive), and had to have a balloon procedure under GA to stop the bleeding, plus two bags of blood.
Once I was home, one midwife visiting baby said my DH should get a vasectomy as it would happen again. She said it would have been due to a 'tired womb'. Another midwife said it doesn't mean it would happen again.
I'm not particularly broody for another one, in the way that I have been in the past, but I often have a little niggle that it is the fear of that happening again that is stopping me.
