Following delivery, the woman had been discharged home after 48 hours. She reported that the lochia had been heavy for the first 2 days but that it had settled to less than a period. However, today she had suddenly felt crampy abdominal pain and felt a gush of fluid, followed by very heavy bleeding. The blood-soaked through clothes and she had passed large clots, which she describes as the size of her fist. She feels dizzy when she stands up and is nauseated.
