Hi, I've just had my 2nd miscarriage in a year. 1st miscarriage was a complete miscarriage at home and I passed all clots with fairly no problem,p and a short visit to hospital. However my 2nd miscarriage was a year to the date and almost same time as my 1st.
We went for an early scan as I had been spotting, scan showed baby had no heartbeat and we were devastated, we was given the options as per usual and I chose to take the tablet, I was advised to return in a few days to start it, however as fate would have it I started bleeding heavily at home, when I got to hosp the midwife carried out the first d&c which was horrific, I felt her detach what I thought was the baby from my uterus, and I was told that would be it, however I continued to pass very large clots, she tried another d&c and after that everything went very wrong, I felt sick, hearing loss and started uncontrollably shaking, I thought I was going to die, the midwife was shouting for help from the doctor and although I could barely hear and see I was still aware of very thing round about, they managed stabilise me with a drip and I was told that due to blood loss and clots being stuck in my cervix I had suffered cervical shock. I eventually had to have the doctor remove the rest of the pregnancy surgically, which was awful, exactly what I didn't want to happen.
I was sent home the next day, but rather than feeling the loss of our baby the trauma of going through cervical shock has surpassed that. It's been over a week now and today was the first day I managed to walk to shops with my mum and my beautiful 4yr old daughter (which we count our blessings for), but I had a funny turn and had to come home, I walked home thinking I was going to pass out. I'm so scared of cervical shock happening again, even though I know it won't because all clots have passed.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has had the same experience and to get it off my chest.
Also I am due back to work on Monday but not sure if I'll be ready physically or emotionally.
