Perhaps you have a typo.  I believe the spelling is "menses."  The placenta and other tissues delivered immediately following birth are called "afterbirth," and may include some blood.  I haven't heard a special term for the blood alone.

One more point: it should be "giving birth to a child" (no article is needed)
