when you die from blood loss, do you feel like you are dying from not being able to breathe? Because your lungs are breathing but you’re not getting oxygen where it needs to go, would it feel something like suffocating?

I suffered blood loss after the birth of my last son. I had passed out from it. Prior to passing out, My entire body was in pain, like each vein, capillary, artery etc was doing jobs on empty. Breathing was difficult. Blinking was difficult, you feel fear because you’re aware of what’s happening, by no flight or fight response, no adrenalin because there’s not much to pump that through.

The added thing for me was I was haemorrhaging internally, which caused a clot to form inside of me which caused my uterus to think it was a baby and as a result my uterus was still contracting like I was in labour having a baby. Overall it was pure hell, and I now have a new found fear of dying from blood loss.
