Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the prolonged bleeding after child birth indicates lack of oxytocin or other hormones responsible for uterine contraction post delivery. The breathing problem may be of concern with pulmonary embolism or other.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
