Postpaum hemorrhage (PPH) occuring in the first 24 hrs after delivery is called primary or early PPH, and placenta pre causes early/Primary PPH. It is also a primary cause of antepaum hemorrhage. Secondary postpaum hemorrhage (late PPH): It is defined as bleeding 24 hours to 12 weeks after delivery. Causes: Abnormal involution of the placental site. Retention of placental cotyledon or products of conception.
