okay my huge whine and vent

[mum4boys]

I posted a little bit in the jabber forum. I am so miserable right now. I started bleeding really heavy on Friday went to see my dr. on Saturday and now am getting twice a day antibiotic shots due to infection. I am suppose to be getting better. HA HA apparently no one has told my body this. The baby has been peacefully snoozing most of the night yet I am wide awake feeling yucky. I went to feed her at 5 am instead, (tmi) I went gush all over. So dh took the baby while I went to shower and change. I did not even stop bleeding while in the shower. It looked like a murder scene. Anyway when I got back out the shower Maggie was peacefully back to sleep again. So now on top of pain in my uterus and gushing blood I am beyond full and dripping milk ever where. I am lightheaded and feel like I am going to pass out. I thought about calling the dr. but I am just going to wait until my apt at 8 am. I just have to hold out 2 more hours. Hopefully the baby wakes up soon so I can remedy one problem. Sorry to be such a downer.

Hugs, Momma! Wow - I'm sorry you had such a hard night. I'd definitely be calling my doc too - that sounds like too much blood to be losing! Hugs!

thank you,

I feel so betrayed by my body.

Hang in there, mama! It sounds like calling the doc wouldn't be such a bad idea. As for feeling betrayed by your body, I completetly understand, but try to remember that this is your body's way of helping you to figure out what's going on.

oh heidi! i am so sorry you are dealing with that mama. i don't know much about pp issues like that, but i would be concerned about some retained tissue. i hope that you are at the dr now (or home already) and that they are able to get you on the mend. that is no way to spend your babymoon!!

Hope you had good luck at the appt this morning...

so how'd the appt go? hopefully the bleeding has stopped & you're not feeling lightheaded today. if it happens again, i'd do some uterine massage (as painful as it can be) to make sure your uterus is clamping down enough. breastfeeding should do the trick, too, though. sorry this time is so rough...

I went to the dr. this morning and my family practice dr. consulted with my OB and they changed my antibiotics. I am now on two oral antibiotics. I go back tomorrow morning to see both of my drs. If I am have not improved at all then I have to do iv antibiotics. I am still bleeding but not like it was this morning. I feel horrible. Unfortunately my husband has a new job and has no time off from work. He works swing so I have all 5 kids by myself. My sister is coming tomorrow to get the little boys and they are staying with her until I can take care of them. I will do whatever they want me to do to get better as I have not been able to see my mom in 6 days.

oh heidi, you poor thing!!! i hope the new meds do the trick and you are all better soon.

[Eaglevoice]

Oh mama, I'm so sorry you are having to go through this! I hope you heal very quickly so you can get back to enjoying your new little one!

I am still sick slowly improving but not fast enough for me.
