Could i bleed to death if home birth?

Indeed !: Home birth with an experienced nurse midwife is reasonably safe . Normally, after the afterbirth delivers the uterus will contract and slows down bleeding. Hospitals have a dedicated staff and blood bank should this serious obstetrical emergency develop. Talk to your caregiver and assess your particular risk.

Yes: If there is a placental abruption, placenta previa or undiagnosed placenta accreta which occurs from a previous c/s where the placenta of the current pregnancy grows into the uterine scar. Retained placenta with clots can also cause a hemorrage.
