from uterine atony‚ failure of the uterus to contract and retract after birth (Ricci & Kyle‚ 2009). Uterine atony is the most common cause of PPH‚ accounting for 70% of cases (Sheiner‚ 2011)‚ and it is usually delineated by a marked hypotonia of the uterus (Simpson & Creehan‚ 2008). In addition‚ uterine atony is likely to occur when the uterus is over distended‚ depicted through polyhydramnios‚ multiple gestations‚ and macrosomia (Simpson & Creehan‚ 2008). Other factors that induce uterine atony

associated with postpartum hemorrhaging. Postpartum hemorrhage is an issue that currently accounts for approximately 25-35% of maternal deaths worldwide (Altenstadt‚ Hukkelhoven‚ Roosmalen‚ & Bloemenkamp‚ 2013). Recent research has indicated that uterine atony is the leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum hemorrhage can result in severe maternal morbidity such as hysterectomy‚ hypovolemic shock‚ disseminated intravascular coagulation‚ and Sheehan’s syndrome. Ongoing research is being conducted

PLACENTAL STAGE Stage 3 refers to the delivery of the placenta. At stage 3‚ the baby has already been born however‚ contractions will continue until the placenta is delivered. The placenta separates from the wall and natural removal occurs by uterine contractions. The birth of the placenta takes place 5 – 30 minutes after the birth of the baby. The placental stage is crucial because of the possibility of maternal hemorrhage. Signs of the placental separation are as follows: a. The uterus

Dysfunctional Labor. Ineffective Uterine Force -abnormal or ineffective labor A. HYPOTONIC CONTRACTIONS - Number of contraction is unusually low or infrequent (not more than 2 0r 3 occurring in a 10min. Period) -Resting tone of the uterus remains less than 10mmHg and the strength of contractions does not rise above 25mmHg -Contractions are not exceedingly painful‚ because of their lack of intensity -Increase length of labor because it requires more uterine contractions - Can cause the uterus
