So I recently had my sweet baby boy 9 weeks ago. It was a planned section and all went well until they had closed me up and my womb relaxed, lost 2.5 pints of blood but they managed to sort things out.
A few days after been home I showed signs of infection and had to have antibiotics. A few days after that I began to pass very large clots of blood.
I had to return to hospital late one night as I passed so many that I was flooding pads and they needed to check me out. They checked for further infection but the tests came back fine. I had a scan the next day which found some retained product. The maternity ward were really dismissive. They told me it could be retained product and the clots were normal.
Believe me there was nothing normal about them!
I told them I felt like I was been fobbed off so because I said this they gave me more antibiotics 🤔 even though they said I had no infection. They also sent me away with Tranexmic acid to help with the clots.
A few days later I got suspected thrush so the doctor prescribed a tablet/cream.
She asked me what had happened so I explained and she told me to stop taking tranexmic acid as I was only supposed to take them until the bleeding calmed down, nobody had told me this and there were no instructions on the packet.
So fast forward a few weeks I'm still bleeding but no more clotting.
Then I start with stomach cramps so I assume my period has started. 2 weeks after this I'm still bleeding. By this point I've been bleeding for 8.5 weeks.
I ring the doctor and she isn't happy so asks me to do a swab and to go for an ultra sound.
I attended the scan today.
They can still see something in me, they confirmed this with an internal scan which I wasn't expecting.
They did say it had gotten smaller but I don't know by how much etc.
Sorry this is mega long.
My question is - has anyone any experience of this? Any ideas what will happen next?
My mum thinks it will be a D+C but has anyone not had to have one and the issue resolved itself?
I'm annoyed because I feel like the midwives should have taken things more seriously. I said to my mum and DH that I knew things weren't right and it annoyed me that I wasn't believed but really I just want to know what might happen next?
Thank you if you managed to get through all of this!
