Mad to consider flying on Wed after d & c last Thur

I was ok physically2 blood loss wise until today but have had almost 2 clots today although think the worst has past. Am kind of sofa bound just today and was wondering if could have big recovery by Wed. It’s a suspected complete molar pregnancy (awaiting results of d&c) at 12 week scan last Tue. I am lucky enough to have a 2yo already and we are due to fly to Canaries on Wed with husband. Although obviously not the holiday we had in mind but thought it would be good to get away to forget for a bit. Today has scuppered my hopes and my mum is not keen on me going at all and Early Pregnancy Unit didn’t say no as they can’t but did say maybe best to see what outcome is. I know a holiday is so trivial but so disappointing on top of everything else. I basically know I need to cancel am just venting I suppose.

Hi OP, I've also had a complete molar.
You sound much better than I was at the same stage but I'm not sure flying is a great idea. If it is a molar you can have a lot of bleeding etc. Might be worth calling the molar pregnancy team at Charing Cross to see if they have a view?

Thanks for your reply, I think I’m in slight/ massive denial. Do feel quite weak today so wouldn’t be much of a hol for my husband really. Thank you I will give them a call. I really hope you had a full recovery and are fit and well now. X

No, sadly I think you'll be best to stay at home and rest.

My world imploded when to happened to me, but that was 11 years ago and I've had my two wonderful rainbow babies since then.

Sit tigh, rest and recover.
There was a brilliant message board when I was going through it, lots of support out there. Best of luck.

did you go on the holiday then?

@regenerate no we waited 4 weeks and are actually flying home today. Was lucky enough to have it confirmed that didn’t have molar pregnancy. Was also best decision to delay holiday and have really appreciated the break and also being able to swim in sea as wouldn’t have been on original hol dates

Oh gosh sorry to hear this. From what I’ve read in newspapers it doesn’t sound fun using hospitals abroad…costs aside. I would not risk it, just in case you need any further treatment. The NHS has its issues, but at least they are usually pretty good in emergency situations. Imagine if you started bleeding out whilst 20,000 foot up in the air… 😣
