I'm no doctor, but this just sounds WRONG! Kim Kardashian related: open if you dare

"It's crazy because I had such an easy delivery, but right after you deliver the baby lives in this sac – the placenta – then you kind of give birth to that and it just kind of comes out. Mine went right back in me because it was stuck to a part of my uterus that it grew into," she explained.

The doctor put his arm in me to here. He had to scrape it off with his fingernails to get it off of my inner lining.

According to kim k, the baby lives in the placenta and hers grew legs and ran right back up inside Confused...not even going to poke fun at the fingernail shit. That's just completely unbelievable.

Makes me happy I gave birth to 3 children for free at the NHS rather than spend thousands in some celeb hospital like Kim k and risk getting fingernailed by a "doctor"....

(Disclaimer: I don't watch this shit, I just read the story on yahoo :))

Sounds much like I would describe my first manual removal of placenta, though I started to bleed, so the cut it out in the end.

I was left with a 'ragged' placenta, which gradually fell away. I feinted every time a bit of it came away.

whentheshithitsthefan · 07/04/2015 20:10

I had retained placenta. Not all of it just bits. Ended up with sever infection and surgery when dd was 10 weeks as they kept saying it would come away naturally. The infection left severe scaring that means I can't carry another child.

SoupDragon · 07/04/2015 20:46

I can't believe I've had three children and had no idea...

I'm also somewhat thankful!

chickenfuckingpox · 07/04/2015 20:54

if i had known its more common if you have the hormone drip i would have thought twice about having it to induce labor they had to give me the drip urgently with number one as my contractions just stopped and i had a retained placenta number two came away fine number three retained placenta again and i was induced with the hormone drip that time from the start that surgery was a horror i fainted in the middle and came round thinking they were shaking the bed as a joke Hmm and it turns out that was how hard she was tugging me around!

she missed a bit and when it came out the following month with my period i nearly passed out

number three was my last!

Ok sorry to all who have suffered this. I always assumed they used some kind of pill and pessary to shed the lining like the one they use for manual miscarriage. Obviously not!

I'm still very Hmm about her wording for the whole thing though. Why would the placenta come out a year later? It just wouldn't.

I just don't like the woman and all her and her family stand for.

chicken I never knew that about the link between hormone drip and retained placenta Shock, it wasn't an issue with my first two dc's that were natural births, would explain it being an issue with induced 3rd (which was already horribly managed anyway but this makes me more Angry)

Joyfulldeathsquad · 07/04/2015 21:14

Holey shit!!!! Sad

BlackSwan · 07/04/2015 21:15

Christ, have we all just learned something from Kim Kardashian - the world has gone insane. Still, better her than me.

BlackSwan · 07/04/2015 21:17

And OP - is your moniker specially chosen for this thread? Bigredball indeed.

TwinkieTwinkle · 07/04/2015 21:21

It's just a ruse for her to have a surrogate as she doesn't want to gain weight again. I have zero time for the Kardashians/Jenners. They should focus more on their brother who is clearly having problems and less on fame and money.

Incidentally, I refuse to believe that a woman who has some of the best health care money can buy could have this problem. It would have been noted after birth. I have no doubt that if it was genuinely true, then she and Kanye would be suing the doctor that delivered compass North for every penny.

Yep, hand and arm in you is not fun. Miaow - I also felt like I understood what a cow goes through.

No, blackswan, this is my normal NN. I would never go to the trouble of changing my name just to suit a kim k thread!

I'm no Kardashian fan, (the mother is an absolute attention seeking horror) but at least she's not done the usual "oh I ate some lentils, had a warm bath and breathed the baby out while in a zen like trance, it was beeeeaaautifuuuul" the usual celeb 'perfect life' shite.

Refreshing to hear of a 'normal' birth experience, even if she is using it as a pre emotive strike against the media pre-surrogate.

MetallicBeige · 07/04/2015 21:32

*pre-emptive

LokiBear · 07/04/2015 21:32

I dislike her immensely too! I feel v lucky. My retained placenta issue really wasn't that traumatic.

Stinkylinky · 07/04/2015 21:41

It's all just a ploy to pave the way for a surrogate without admitting that she doesn't want to gain weight or go through with another pregnancy as she's openly stated how much she disliked it.

I really don't think she should be having any more children, she's too self centred and Kanye is a whack job.

5YearsTime · 07/04/2015 21:48

I sympathise with her. She's gone through an awful experience. I don't think any woman chooses to use a surrogate lightly!

BobsTaintedLeftLeg · 07/04/2015 21:52

Problem with all this, is not that placenta retention doesn't happen and isnt a thing, but that she has said she's had it for 18 months and is why she isn't getting pregnant.

There is no way she has had a retained placenta since North was born, she'd be one ill lady if she did.

It's total crap and just an excuse to go with a surrogate.

hates having a teenager that watches this crap

RufusTheReindeer · 07/04/2015 22:15

Retained placenta with number 1

Doctor with arm in to get it out...yuck

So badly damaged that I needed two c sections after it

It was a fairly surreal experience...and the labour went so well Grin just a bit Pete tong at the end

I don't understand how anyone can be this materialistic and fake. Their mother seems to be like their pimp selling them everywhere and anywhere. I've seen the type of messages they write to each other too on Instagram with their brother and bil making sexual references to his sisters and sil's...something it seems they're all proud of..they're just so f'd up. Then there's the husband who's going through a sex change. Just completely weird.

Well babies can be born in an intact amniotic sac, not the placenta but she is a lay person so the error is forgivable, I believe it is called born in caul.

I had manual evacuation of a retained placenta, I have no memory of it as I was exhausted and only found out on review of my notes for my second delivery.

WhenMarnieWasThere · 07/04/2015 22:23

Urgh, this thread has reminded me of one of my vivid memories of childbirth.

My placenta wouldn't come out easily, so the midwife got a firm hold of the umbilical cord and pulled . It snapped and I can still feel the twanging sensation. Shudders!

It did come out without being manually removed in the end which was good, then I nearly bled to death and had blood pressure of 60/40 which was less good.

scarletforya · 07/04/2015 22:25

I can never understand how an arm or hand can fit up there....it must be agony. My doc couldn't successfully do an internal on me during labor, just him attempting to was just pure agony. I was ready to go through the ceiling with the pain.

The thoughts of a doctor putting their hand into your uterus is terrifying. And Kim Kardashian is tiny, five foot, nothing.

Shenanagins · 07/04/2015 22:27

so glad they knocked me out to get mine out!
