Description
ABSTRACT:
Background-Postpartum hemorrhage can trigger a series of events that prevent a mother from fully
breastfeeding. To find out the factors brought about by postpartum hemorrhage which impact successful
breastfeeding, 15 primigravida mothers were selected for the study.
Materials & Methods- The Mixed method research design was used in this study. The study population
included primigravida mothers with a significant Postpartum hemorrhage (estimated blood loss of 1500
mL or more) in 24 hours. The study was done in a private hospital at Bhopal. The sampling technique used
for this study was purposive sampling (non - probability).
Results- The findings showed a significant association between severity of blood loss and breastfeeding
in the first postpartum week. After adjustment for method of birth and timing of the first opportunity to
suckle, the association was statistically significant. The difficulties with breastfeeding may be due to
delayed lactogenesis Stage II. In addition, early separation from their baby, their stressful birth
experience, ongoing fatigue, and the physical sequelae of Postpartum hemorrhage were all cited by
mother as factors influencing their inability to successfully breastfeed.
Conclusion- The observations reported here support that mothers are able to successfully breast-feed,
but may find it difficult in complications related to PPH.
