Over 5 months ago i had my baby by an emergency c-section it was a traumatic birth. Everything was fine until 3 months ago i started to bleed which i thought was my period but then 2 weeks went passed and i was still bleeding and i was getting worried, on the 2nd month i contacted my GP over the phone telling him i was concerned and i didn't feel right, he said that i was fine and to put me on the contraception injection (DEPO) he said that would stop the bleeding, I'm a single mother and i didn't want it but he insisted i should take it, a month went by i was still bleeding by the end of august 29th i started to have labour pains so bad i could hardly walk and then on the 30th still the same pains when it came to 8:30pm the pain was so bad i couldn't take it anymore, luckily i live with my father he came to check up on me and then i had a feeling as i wanted to push, i went to the bathroom and then i pushed out what i thought was a clot the size of my hand but it was a piece of a placenta. I shouted at my father he came and then phoned the ambulance. I then had to stay at the hospital for the night, i was examined my the doctors they said i was very lucky and a miracle they said they've never seen or heard anything like this before and they was shocked that i was alive and they didn't know how i didn't have any sign of an infection. I was explained that during birth doctors/surgeon leave a bit of placenta in if its too stubborn to come out as it cam cause severe bleeding. But what she explained that the doctor who did the emergency C-section never told anyone it was left there and it was never on the birth record. So she couldn't understand how i survived this long. 5 months after birth i practically gave birth to a piece of placenta (3rd stage of labour). If anyone out there thats been though what I've been through in the past, how did you manage after? I feel like i have been left and dumped in the corner and forgotten about I'm still having pains and passing clots but the doctors said that they aren't worried.
