Can't believe this happened!! (kinda long)

Lauree • Had our B/G twins at 37 weeks. They are happy and healthy! Our family is complete!!!! 💙💖💙🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈🌈

Can't believe this happened...  so I bled for about 3 weeks post partum.   Then, to my delight, it stopped!   About 4 weeks pp I started to gush bright red blood when standing.  Called the OB and was told that as long as it wasn't more than a pad an hour that it "was normal".   Well, I insisted on coming in.  The OB did an internal exam and pushed up against my uterus from the inside and down on my uterus from the outside and basically massaged out giant clots of blood.   My mom, a retired nurse, was with me at the appointment, and she said even her stomach was turning at the site.  The also did an ultrasound and said, again, things "looked normal".   The OB also said that since I had a C-section, it was "almost impossible" that I had retained placenta.   Well, a week goes by and I'm still gushing bright red blood.   Went in for another ultrasound.   Still inconclusive as to what was going on.   I basically begged my OB to do a D&C.   He agreed.   I got scheduled in for the next day.   I was told to fast from midnight until my procedure.   Check in at 11am.   Did I mention I was exclusively breastfeeding TWINS?!??!   How in the heck am I to go without food/water and not eff my milk supply??   Well, I checked in at 11.   STARVING.   The nurse told me it was so backed up that they didn't even have room in the pre-op area.  I ended up pumping several times (to keep supply up) BEFORE the procedure.   I kid you not, I wasn't taken back for the surgery until 7:30 at night!   I wanted to cry.   I was starving so badly from not only not eating but feeding babies/pumping milk (aka massively burning calories) all day.   Anyways, the DID find left over placental tissue!!!  So it CAN happen after a csection!   To top of my day, my husband calls at 10pm as I'm finally getting discharged from the hospital that my girl twin choked and he called 911!!   I came home to an ambulance in my driveway!    She's okay.   But holy crap.  Worst day ever.  Two weeks later and I'm finally just now spotting.
