The most likely cause of this client's uterine atony is overdistention of the uterus caused by the hydramnios. As a result, the stretched uterine musculature contracts less vigorously. Besides hydramnios, a large infant, bleeding from abruptio placentae or placenta previa, and rapid labor and delivery can also contribute to uterine atony during the postpartum period. Trauma during labor and delivery is not a likely cause. In addition, no evidence of excessive trauma was described in the scenario.

Although a lengthy or prolonged labor can contribute to uterine atony, this client had a cesarean delivery for breech presentation. Therefore, it is unlikely that she had a long labor.
