44. Pоstpаrtum Hemоrrhаge Phаse 1. Recоgnize cues Marti, a 30-year-old, gave birth to twins at 37 weeks of gestation after being induced with IV oxytocin for preeclampsia. This is Marti’s fourth pregnancy; she has three children, ages 2, 4, and 6. The first twin was delivered spontaneously, but forceps were used to deliver the second one. She had a second-degree laceration, which was repaired. Her estimated blood loss was 400 ml. Marti is now 8 hours postpartum. She is on IV magnesium sulfate at 1 g/hour and has a Foley catheter in place. Postpartum oxytocin was discontinued at the 6-hour postpartum check as her fundus was firm and located 1 cm above the umbilicus, and lochia rubra was moderate.
