Postpartum Hemorrhage: Prevention, Physiology, and Midwifery Care

In this episode, Sarah and Charli take a deep dive into postpartum hemorrhage, one of the most serious risks associated with childbirth worldwide. They explain what postpartum hemorrhage is, what causes it, and how homebirth midwives work proactively to prevent and manage it through clinical skill, relationship-based care, and hormonal support. The conversation highlights the powerful role of emotional safety, trauma-informed care, and calm birth environments in reducing hemorrhage risk. Listeners gain a clear understanding of how midwifery care blends evidence-based medicine with holistic support to protect both physical safety and postpartum recovery.
