spoke to her hubby today and im shocked by what he told me!
my mate had a caeserian (sp) last wednesday and on monday night she had bad pains so went to hospital. was told she had an infection but it turns out that a piece of plancenta was left in her! she was in theatre for 5hours as they couldnt stop her bleeding she had 6litres of blood, a hysterectomy, part of her bowel removed and as her hubby put it "they had a tinker with her kidneys" too.
unbelievable, how on earth can you miss a piece of bloody placenta with a caeserian. must be easier to remove it all surely when you can put your hand in her and feel for things.i know that sounds gross but seems feasible to me.
shes in intensive care for another 24hours then to a high dependance unit and her baby boy is being cared for by his daddy.
very sad that she could have died
