Background: Delivery by Caesarean section (CS) can cause more complications than normal vaginal delivery and one of its common complications is postpartum bleeding which can be life threatening. To reduce maternal mortality and morbidity caused by bleeding, it is important to reduce the extent of bleeding during and after CS.
