Hi

(please be aware that theres some description in here that may be a bit yuck but i have to ask) my sis is on the pill, she has a 5 month old son, but shes crap at tking it (hence the 5 month old son) but she rang me yeaterday and said she had had some bleeding but was midway through pack so its unexpected.

I asked if shes missed any pills lately as it could be breakthrough blood but she insisted shes taken them all porperly this pack.

Anyway she rings today and said she woke up in a pool of blood this AM her sheets were covered.

She put a pad on and got on with the day, then she feels like she passed something.

she went to the loo (TMI coming up, sorry) and theres a huge clot.

she asked me to go look at it and i was expecting a bit of a clot like on your period.

But it was almost the size of my palm, it was thick on one side thin on the other - it had a white mass - noting recognisbale just white stuff, but kind of solid in it and it had an opening, like a pocket.

TBH it looked like a placenta - but i bought her a PG test and its negative.

She said all this morning she had AWFUL pains - like contractions.

It all points to a MC but surely if she only passed this morning it would show positive on a test??

I dont know what to think!

sounds like she has been unlucky.

Ive got my nephew here with me Ive took him for the night.

I cant stop crying my Dad had to drive my sister to the doctors today cause she started shaking badly.

they said as well as the alapecia shes got depression & anxiety.

shes only 18 ffs

she has to back in a week and depending on how she is she may have to start anti-ds

i think its postnatal - babies only 5 months and shes not been right since

Hi kits, just wanted to say that you sound like a truly lovely and amazing sister - remember to look after yourself as well as your sister XX Really hope she is ok.

Umm, hiccups, can't really remember - think they will just sort of 'go on their own'? Sorry, not much help on that score. Take care.

lulumama · 20/09/2007 19:41

the hiccups will go on their own

PND is common, and treatable, try not to panic.

i should think it would be a good idea for your sister to contact homestart and get some help, and you too, actually.

your local childrens' centre, if you have one, will be a wealth of info about what is available for families with young children

they send a volunteer to you at home who will give you a hand with things and offers a listening ear and a pair of hands

you sound like you have a lot on your plate too, so don;t forget you are allowed to ask for support too.
