Hi
Funnily enough I went out with an old school friend last night who is a RM and I asked her that same question....I was basically talking about my own birth of my youngest and how after being low risk care, I ended up with an assisted delivery due to fetal distress and prolonged 2nd stage....on my records the EBL is stated as 900mls but as I recounted my "birth story" she said I'd had an APH...I then asked the question HOW did they know what the blood loss was? She did say it's very much a guesstimate but I guess like anything, with practice and experience you get pretty adept at making a good guess.
