Bradbury uses several devices to heighten the tension of the chase sequence, including the use of dramatic pauses (such as when the Hound pauses on Faberâs lawn), the description of the Houndâs progress from Montagâs perspective, and the countdown to the âlook-outâ in which everybody is to open their doors.
This term is used to describe severe bleeding that occurs between 24 hours and 12 weeks after childbirth, though late postpartum hemorrhages typically occur one to two weeks postpartum. (Profuse bleeding that occurs within the first 24 hours is classified as a primary postpartum hemorrhage.)
Postpartum bleeding is generally much heavier than menstrual bleeding, however. Postpartum bleeding typically begins within hours after giving birth, and will continue for about two or three weeks after giving birth. For some women, postpartum bleeding may last for up to as many as six weeks after giving birth. Postpartum bleeding starts out as a bright red vaginal discharge. The postpartum bleeding generally stays bright red for anywhere from four to ten days after giving birth.
