Post surgical evacuation

[Noideawhatshappening]

Hi, I was diagnosed with a molar pregnancy earlier this week and had the evacuation under general anaesthetic on Thursday this week.

I've been referred to a hospital in Sheffield for some monitoring but didn't really get much info from my own hospital. I'm not sure if these things are normal or not?

1. I'm not bleeding. At all. On one hand, well yeah they removed everything in surgery. But on the other hand, everything online, the Dr's at the hospital etc all told me to have lots of pads ready and expect heavy bleeding for the first few days.

1. I'm not cramping but I'm having sharp shooting pains down the left side of my groin that take my breath away. I wasn't given any painkillers so I'm taking ibuprofen and paracetamol and the pain isn't constant but it definitely doesn't feel like a cramp.

1. The longer I stand up for the more dizzy I feel and the worse the shooting pains seem to get.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? This was my first pregnancy and I haven't told anyone so I'm really searching in the dark here.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I just had my third surgical management yesterday. I am barely spotting (only when wiping, haven't had anything on a pad today). It was the same the last 2 times, only a couple of days of spotting really after.

Can't help with the shooting pain but I'd give the hospital a call just in case it's a sign of infection or similar? Better to ask and not need anything than leave it and something gets worse that can be fixed x

I'm sorry for your losses @moosey89 and really appreciate you responding. I'm getting very in my own head about it all so it's good to hear about similar experiences with the lack of bleeding.

I hope your recovery goes smoothly. Thank you again

@Noideawhatshappening I felt the same after my first one, expected to bleed a lot more!

Hope your recovery goes well too. Make sure you give yourself time emotionally to recover as well x
