Managing a Postpartum Hemorrhage: Ashley's Story

Like all great adventures, pregnancy rarely goes as planned, especially for first time mothers. For today’s guest, the journey had all the hallmarks of a grand adventure: pure joy when she found out she was pregnant, the excitement of an impending birth, the physical challenges of a natural labor, and a real dose of anxiety, pain and fear in the aftermath of that birth when a serious hemorrhage becomes life threatening. Listen to her tell her story of ultimate triumph. Read more about Ashley’s experience at http://thinkoutsidethecrib.com/, or follow her at @ashley_lewko; I also include insights about hemorrhage from Dr. Nicole Wilcox, an OB with Kaiser Permanente.
