1st miscarriage 7w2d July 12th
This was my 2nd pregnancy but 1st miscarriage. I started to hemmorage and spent my long weekend (aug1-3rd) in the hospital. I passed out when I got there and hit my head and was knocked out for a couple mins and couldn't remember where I was for a couple mins and I didn't hear much. All I remember is I was going to the bathroom and I was leaving the room and then I thought I was goin to throw up and I needed help and I pulled the emergency cord and then I felt like I was under water when I woke up and couldn't hear. My hemoglobin got down to 70, I needed 2 units of blood, a bunch of saline and a bag of electrolytes. I also hit my back and bruised my ribs. I needed 2 IVs and the one in my wrist I screamed for. I have a damaged tendon in my thumb that goes along my wrist and my dr thinks it may have been irritated during the IV and blood transfusion. It's been a week now and the bleeding has slowed down an incredible amount. Now it's a more rusty color. Not quite brown but not red or pink. I have no cramping. I was bleeding out cuz the placenta was stuck in my cervix and that's why I was in so much pain. Now I'm just dealing with my now inflamed and sore tendon and thumb and my concussion.
I'm nervous about getting pregnant again because after my son was born I was anemic again and needed iron pills twice a day to get my hemoglobin back up, now I'm to take iron again for a minimum of 3 months and my dr thankfully has agreed that I can wait till whenever I'm comfortable in sept I go get another blood test to test my hemoglobin again to make sure it's going up at a good rate. Just thinking about it makes me panic though. I was afraid of needles as it was, but now the idea makes me panic and cry. All I remember is pain. A lot of pain.
