| This study was designed to determine the frequency of postpartum hemorrhage after administra-tion of per rectal misoprostol in females undergoing normal vaginal delivery. The study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Teaching Hospital, Lahore from 02-09-2014 to 03-03-2015.Non-probability and purposive sampling techniques were used. A total of 220patients undergoing normalvaginal delivery at term after administration of per rectal misoprostol were enrolled with 95% confidenceinterval (C.I). The error margin was 5% and the prevalence of postpartum haemorrhage was 16.5%. Datawas entered and analyzed through SPSS 17. In this study, the mean age of study participants was found tobe 29.89±5.89 years while the mean gestational age was 38.86±1.38 weeks. Postpartum haemorrhage wasobserved in 35.45% cases. Blood loss was recorded in patients with a mean of 374±134.91 mL.

A low frequency of postpartum hemorrh agein women experiencing normal vaginal delivery after misoprostol was administered. The blood loss was recorded to be very low among females.
