Hi Ladies
Can I tell someone my story, thought you ladies would understand. Sometimes you feel you are all alone.
I had a MMC 2 months ago, I ended up in hospital, where I lost alot of blood and passed out. They kept me in hospital the weekend and kept an eye on me. My Angel was only 6 weeks old but I carried him/her for 11 weeks. I was given a scan and sent home for a week.
I bled continuously for 2 months, some days heavy, other days light. I kept in touch with my doctor throughout and he gave me antibiotics. Finally last week I was at my wits end. I could not move on for all the bleeding. The doctor said he would book me another scan, he booked it but for a fortnight later. I wasn't too happy and very emotional so he said he would prescribe me hormone tablets, I didn't really want them but was willing to try anything.
Meanwhile, I went to work last Friday, felt fine, then all of a sudden I felt like I had wet myself (TMI), it was blood, it was gushing all over the place. I was so embarrased and couldn't stop crying. I took my coat off and tied it around my bottom half and managed to work to my doctors 10 mins away. Unfortunately they were shut for lunch so I rang the door bell. They took one look at me and let me in, I rushed to the toilet and I felt I was reliving the MC all again, it was gushing out everywhere, I looked up and the doctor was in the toilet as well. He took one look at me and saw all the blood, so he phoned for an ambulance. In A&E I was seen by a doctor who discovered I still had products of conception inside me, he pulled out loads!! I stayed in overnight and was sent home the next day. On the Thursday I went for an internal scan, it showed there was still products inside. They said I would need an evacuation procedure and said I could have that afternoon. They put me in a room above the maternity ward, I could hear new born babies crying all the time in the delivery rooms. I waited for 4 hours for the op and they finally cancelled it due to an emergency in the operating theatre. I went back the next day where I finally had the op.
Is this normal? I spoke to the doctors and they told me it is very common, I certainly haven't heard of a case like mine.
I hope to try and get my life on track now, I haven't had a period since May but hopefully may get my cycle going soon. My best friend has just given birth and I feel very emotional at the moment, I seem to cry at any little thing.
Sorry, had to share my story, and get my feelings off my chest, I have gone through all this on my own, my partner is working abroad and isn't due home for another 3 weeks.
Thinking of you all. xxxxxx
