Bizarre unit
In this article it says "Other definitions of post partum bleeding are haemodynamic instability, drop of haemoglobin of more than 1 g %". Could some please fix the "1 g %' part is there's no citation for me to look at to find out what it actually means and I can't find a similar definition on UpToDate.

Workplan for updates
My current plan is to update the headers accordingly while preserving the content that has already been added. I am in the process of performing a thorough literature search to provide updated information and images. I will respond to any peer review comments and will continue to update my working plan.

 * Intro - I would like to update the definition of obstetrical bleeding and expand more on the epidemiology/prevalence. This also seems to be a good section to discuss what is considered a normal amount of bleeding in pregnancy
 * Early Pregnancy - I like the mnemonic listed, but I would like to expand upon the list by adding: chemical pregnancy, hormones, infection, and sexual intercourse
 * Later Pregnancy - I would like to expand this section by updating the information already listed as well as adding: incompetent cervix and sterile vaginal examinations
 * During labor - I would like to expand on the conditions listed, giving more thorough definitions. I would also like to move the mention of the KB test (differentiation of maternal and fetal blood) to a new category titled "Medical Tests"
 * For the After Delivery, I plan to update the unit here as it is incorrect, but will leave this section mostly as is due to extensive coverage on postpartum bleeding on a different wiki page
 * New sections I would like to include will be: "Risk factors", "Medical tests", "Drugs, treatments, and devices"
 * For now, I will leave the category unrelated bleeding as is until I complete my literature search


 * I will be peer reviewing KMRobertson's edits to this page.

Suggestions for Update
Mgiulietti (talk) 17:37, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * An image from the commons is needed on this page.
 * A section on mortality should be added toward the end of the article. This means that "The most frequent cause of maternal mortality worldwide is severe hemorrhage with 8.7 million cases occurring in 2015[1] and 83,000 of those events resulting in maternal death[2]. Between 2003 and 2009, hemorrhage accounted for 27.1% of all maternal deaths globally[3]" could be removed from the first paragraph potentially.
 * History or different interpretations of bleeding before, during, and after childbirth could be added if appropriate sources can be found.
 * " If platelet counts drop less than 100,000 per microliter the patient will be at a severe risk for inability to clot during and after delivery.[22]" appears to be directed at doctors rather than a generalist audience. See this article for more on this topic.
