ICD-Code O67.0: Intrapartum haemorrhage with coagulation defect
You suffered unusually heavy bleeding during the birth of your child because your blood clotting process malfunctioned.
When you bleed, after a while the blood usually clots by itself.Platelets and various clotting proteins in the blood are involved in blood clotting. The platelets can adhere to one another in such a way that they stop a bleed. The clotting proteins stabilize the platelets that have stuck together. This enables wounds to heal, for example.
