Dear Zena, I think the only choices are to 1) trust the blood supply and screening procedures, or 2) wean :-( Kind of sad they insisted on blood transfusion. There are some products available now for people with religious reasons not to transfuse and possibly they could have been used. A healthy young woman on iron would restore her iron supply fairly quickly. I don't know about the hemorrhage causing Sheehan's a month after delivery???? But I suppose it is a possibility.
