The immediate factor causing high maternal mortality rate was bleeding (30,3%), especially post partum bleeding. In addition, hypertension (27.1%), infection (7.3%), and long handled parturition (1.7%) and based on pre-survey data on 27-4-2018 at public health working regency of Pesawaran occurring 2 people death due to eclampsia. This study aims to determine the effect of giving yogurt to pregnant women with hypertension in the Area of Health Service District Pesawaran Year 2018. This type of research is quantitative by using the experimental approach (pre experiment) with pretest-posttest approach with control group. The population in this study were all pregnant women with hypertension. Data in this research taken by simple purposive sample with primary data and data analysis using pretest dependent.. The results of this study showed that there was an effect of yogurt on blood pressure reduction, which mean score of sitole blood pressure before yogurt adduction was significantly higher than after yogurt adduction (p value 0,000

After marriage and the subsequent initiation into womanhood, the assumption in early modern society was that an early birth was desirable to cement the relationship and secure the bloodline. As Laura Gowing has asserted, ‘Fertility mattered enormously to women’s roles and to marriage. Pregnancy marked another stage in the transition from single woman to matron, and the rituals of childbirth brought a woman into the circle of married women and mothers’.1 This chapter will argue that the blood lost after a birth signified the completion of this transition to womanhood in its most full sense. As part of its analysis of lochial and post-partum bleeding, this chapter will also offer a study of bleeding in pregnancy and labour. In the prevailing humoral system the management of a woman’s blood levels carried implications for the success of the pregnancy and the transition to motherhood. Further, post-partum bleeding was considered to be analogous to menstruation and so carried with it assumptions about the ways in which women ought to behave if bleeding was occurring. Antenatal bleeding was also associated with grave implications for the outcome of the pregnancy and the potential disruption this wrought for the transition to motherhood. So the chapter forms an overview of all occasions of bleeding involving pregnancy and birth. Similarly, many of the rituals then associated with childbirth were formed around the blood loss. So the ways in which birth was managed culturally will be examined here as part of the main thematic concern of analysing lochial bleeding.

We have described a modification of the B-Lynch uterine compression suture which is simple and effective. This technique apposes the anterior and posterior uterine walls, obliterating the cavity and thereby provides effective control of post-partum haemorrhage as a result of uterine atony. It comprises of vertical compression sutures and is distinct from B-Lynch and Haymen's suture by having an additional firm puncture just below the uterine fundus. This means that the suture is transfixed at the uterine fundus, thus eliminating the risk of the sutures sliding off at the uterine fundus.

Post-partum bleeding was estimated during the first 72 hours in 106 women with normal delivery at term, all had live child with a body weight between 2.5 and 3.5 Kg. Three groups of women were studied: Group 1 comprised 41 volunteers with normal deliveries to whom no medication had been administered; Group 2 comprised 39 volunteers receiving 20 IU of oxytocin in 250 ml of a 5% glucose solution, immediately after delivery; and in Group 3, 26 volunteers received 0.2 mg of ergonovine maleate, orally three times daily for three days. The average post-partum blood loss in Group 1 during the first 72 hours after delivery was 151.5 ± 12.5 ml; for Group 2, 155.9 ± 13.9 ml; and for Group 3, 135.5 ± 15.9 ml. There were no significant differences among the groups and, most of the blood loss occurred during the first 24 hours after delivery.

Post-partum bleeding was measured for 72 hours in 66 volunteer healthy women after normal pregnancy and delivery at term. After complete placenta expulsion, a 220C Copper T was placed by the attending physician in 33 volunteer subjects before leaving the delivery room. Similar number of volunteer subjects served as a control. Post-partum bleeding during the 72 hours of study was 134.7 ± 16.3 ml for the IUD group and 155.9 ± 16.0 ml for the control group. No differences were detected among the two groups. Hemoglobin levels were the same for both groups, being at 72 hours after delivery, 11.9 ± 0.28 gm/ml for the IUD group and 12.2 ± 0.36 for controls. None of the women with immediate post-partum IUD insertion had any changes in the normal characteristics of their post-partum period.
