ER (again) and finally DnC

[newcastlemama]

HI all, I went to the ER 2/27 and they told me the baby had died...2/28 misscarried at home and then went to hipistal overnight for bloodloss shock...I was there again this morning when I was in horrible pain again at 2:00 am. I stood in the shower and a baseball sized clot/mass came out and I was bleeding a lot again and very dizzy.

Somehow they missed on my last ultrasound that I had more tissue in there so I finally had a DnC this morning. I am feeling better and I am hoping that this is the end of all that.

How long is recovery after DnC? Mostly, when will the bleeding end? I have just a littlenow. Thanks, Jennifer

(((hugs))) to you! You really have been thru a lot lately. Hopefully now that everything is out your body can heal and recover. I had a d&c years ago but I don't remember how long it takes for the bleeding to stop. I did just m/c naturally and I found that the more I rested the faster I recovered. My bleeding turned to spotting for about a week and after that a little brown blood in my cm now and then. A week after I felt better but I am now 2wks past and feeling good with energy again. I hope your body heals up quickly. I'm guessing the blood loss makes your recovery different too...how are you feeling? Are your iron levels improving?

goodness mama you have been through the meatgrinder...

i am hoping things are a little easier for you now... you need rest, and love and good thoughts....

just a little thought, spring is almost here. hoping you are feeling better as the days lengthen and warm....

(don't know how long the recovery is for a D&C, but i would recommend nettle and RRL tea and some cinnamon.. good for iron levels, toning the womb and stopping excess bleeding)

:hug

Thanks for the support mamas.

Surfmama, I am feeling better. I think having the DnC took an emotional load off because it made me feel like it would all end soon. I was also happy to go shopping for all my nuts, fruits, and veggies today so I can get back into my raw foods. I never thought I would be so excited to shop and cook!

Honeybee, I am getting RRL and nettles tea (supposed to be good blood builder) tomorrow. I also just made some raw apple pie (yummy) with cinnimon in it. I will keep incorporating cinnimon...I really want to stop the bleeding. I almost cringe evertime I go to the bathroom hoping there won't be much. I was just happy to be creating and eating something at home today.

I am also resting. I slept until 1:00 pm today! (I did not sleep the night before) My MIL is coming over at 9 am to help with Jack.
Goodnight mamas. I am going to try and get on a normal sleeping pattern now. Jennifer
