All contacted for telephone interview 1‐4 months following whether they had experienced morbidity associated such as haemorrhage, pyrexia, prolonged hospital stay, follow-up investigations or surgical intervention. Results: Two areas material identified in upper lower segment uterus. These independently dimensions volumes. The area an average thickness 13.8 mm volume 35.6 cm3 segment/cervical held considerably more 54.8 cm 3 . mean duration bleeding was 4.2 weeks. None recruited required blood transfusion. stay 4 days. Twenty-two (23%) participants febrile illness delivery, 19 (20%) commenced antibiotics. parameters ultrasound findings. Conclusions: this study evaluation immediate period revealed unexpectedly large volumes uterine cavity. However, not postnatal morbidity, can probably be accepted normal.
