Hello everyone
I posted this in childbirth as well, but then thought that maybe people who had already experienced this might not be looking at the childbirth page any more, so thought I would post here as well.
Thank you to everyone who answered my previous thread about uterine infections. I had a scan today that showed no placenta/membranes (phew), but did show quite a large clot in the uterus. It's not attached to anything, but obviously it needs to come out!
The ultrasound lady said it would probably pass out on its own after some hefty period type pains. I have been getting some cramping, but am concerned that my cervix may be too closed, or that my uterus may not cramp enough to get it out.
Does anyone have any experience of having a clot like this and it passing naturally, or having a D & C?
I am on antibiotics in case it is infected, but obviously the thought of it being inside me festering away is somewhat alarming.
Any reassurance or hints on how to get it out gratefully received! Am thoroughly fed up of post birth complications now.
thanks again
