Listen to your body. Trigger warning
A week ago today I found out my 10 week angel had no heart beat
And decided to do the medicine at home, seemed easier then a hospital.
So we did 3 rounds of medicine and it failed. But I was still against a d&c, so my doctor said we would try one last time.
So yesterday at 10 am I went in and he put some medicine in my vagina and I went home and waited.
With in a few moments of being home I could tell it was working.
At 4:50 my sweet baby was here. 👼🏻
My doctor said the bleeding would be pretty strong for a few days.
But around 7 pm; I knew something was wrong.
I was light headed, seeing spots, ears ringing and my heart was racing. The bleeding was extremely heavy, and even though thats normal I decided to just go into the ER.
I got there and we got to triage pretty fast, no one was there, and she was asking all the normal questions, taking my vitals and I looked at my husband and said “I think I’m going to pass out” And the monitor went crazy as my pulse shot over 200! And I just remember waking up in a wheel chair, with all kinds of people staring at me.
I got rushed to a room and seen pretty quick. The doctor tried to do a pelvic exam but he said the bleeding was too extreme and he called my OB(he was on call that night at the same hospital) and said “you’re getting a d&c, get ready”
And I was still extremely against a surgery and started to cry And he goes “you can get a d&c, or bleed to death” (ER doctors have great bed side manor 🙄)
So i waited on my OB, and I was rushed back for my d&c, turns out I had clots too big for my uterus to pass and it would have kept bleeding and trying to pass them if I wouldn’t have come in.
I had to have a blood transfusion and spend the night in the pp wing of the hospital (because I love hearing crying babies while recovering from that) My OB came in and told me if we hadn’t had come in, things would have been a whole lot different. Even if I just waited a day or two.
My main point is you know when you aren’t ok. Don’t ignore signs of your body in distress.
Sometimes your plan isn’t THE plan. Take care of your selfs mommas so we can have have healthy beautiful babies :)
