I had to go back to the ER again for another labor repeat and they refused to transfer me to a hospital that could do a D&C and just gave me a Vicadin and 3 shots of Demerol to dull the pain and told me to see my OB first thing in the morning. Praying I'll be able to drive! Right now I'm doped all to heck and still in pain

Tomorrow I'm demanding a D&C at my OB's.

ps: I was screaming so loud I was scaring the elderly patients and the nurse was telling me to quite down because of it. If they had bothered to do something about my pain I wouldn't have been screaming! I have NEVER had pain like this and I've been hemorrhaging. I was soaking a heavy duty overnight pad every 15 minutes and not once did any one check on me

Thank god its slowed down but I wish the cramping would go away.

Mama, I hurt for you . . . wish I could offer more than online support.

 

[Breathless Wonder]

Satori, I am so sorry. I hope tomorrow brings you some physical relief.

 

[AdoptChina]

I'm so sorry. I hope the OB can help you end the physical pain tomorrow...you should not have to be dealing with that

 

[QueenOfTheMeadow]

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. My thoughts are with you and I hope your physical pain will be over soon.

 

[Satori]

Thanks everyone

Its 6am, drugs have worn off and the pain is GONE, at the moment anyway

I still cant believe the amount of pain I was in and those idiots never checked my bleeding. I had some left over Sheppard's purse at home and took that as soon as I got home and man that stuff is powerful. Stopped the hemorrhaging pretty fast

I set the alarm clock to wake me up every 2 hours to make sure the bleeding didn't return and take my Vicadin and so far so good and very little soreness. Anyway, I need to hit the shower and pick up my car at the hospital and get my buns down to the OB's office. Praying this will all be over today!

Went to the OB, she refused to do a D&C because she saw no fetal parts left in my uterus but I dont see how she could because its filled up with more huge blood clots! It it really that freakin hard for them to suck out the dam things?! Waiting for the next labor to start

ps: she said take 2 Aleve, that should take care of the pain, yeah right! Feel like i'm being cut open with a hot knife and 2 Aleve is going to solve it...

Your miscarriage sounds very similar to the one I had right before I conceived my daughter.

I was in a remote camp, 600 miles from home working and had to be medivac'd out because the pain was so intense (it was much worse than my labor) and the bleeding was so excessive.

My OB also refused to do a D&C. His opinion is that they are far too barbaric (sp?) and can sometimes cause more harm than good. I thought he was crazy as a loon, but the bleeding slowed down and the pain subsided a day later. Hopefully, you are on the same path and your pain is over.

I'm so sorry for your loss mama

Satori, I am so sorry for your loss.

Losing a baby is hard enough let alone going through all you are. That is a lot of blood to be loosing, is there another hospital or OB you can see? I hemmoraged with a miscarrage at 12 weeks. The ER did an US and could not find any baby. I was taken to an D&C a couple of hours later and a baby was there.

 

[shannon0218]

How are you now Satori?

 

[Satori]

Still bleeding with that nasty putrid smell, still having strong contrax off an on but I have a script for naproxen which seems to be keeping me out of pain. I'm just wondering how long this is going to last.

 

[Artisan]

Oh, I am so so sorry, mama.

 

[savannah smiles]

So sorry you're going through this!

I hope that you start feeling better soon. I've been thinking about you and how you are doing. Are you still feeling okay today? I really can't imagine an OB refusing to do a D&C when your uterus is completely full of clots. What a frustrating experience during an already difficult time. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Losing a baby is hard enough without all the extra crap to deal with.
I found that laying in the bath helped with my cramps. I like to turn the lights off and burn a couple candles. Make yourself a pot of tea or have a glass of wine and relax.
I wish there was more I could do to help you right now...I hope you get relief soon.

 

[Satori]

oh god, here we go again

 

[QueenOfTheMeadow]

Satori,
Hang in there. I hope this is over for you soon.

 

[Satori]

me too, last night wasn't to bad meaning I didn't feel like screaming but I did have to breathe through a number of them. I'm a little PO'd though, I actually had some what of a plan! I figured that as soon as I dilated enough that the clots started coming out I would try pushing like hell as well as external uterine massage to try and get clots out then once I felt like they were out I planned on taking Sheppard's purse to stop bleeding ASAP and keep taking it for a bit in hopes it would prevent more clots from forming, (no bleeding, no clots to form from it line of thought) and guess what happened last night? The nausea starts hitting which going by the past 3 experiences means its going to end in about 2 hours. I consider this the transition point because its a lot like real transition, contrax are one on top of another, nausea, shaking, breaking out in sweats, hot and cold chills, get that "I can't take this anymore!" feeling. Well, transition started but as soon as the first clot passed I still felt in control and not in really severe pain (I had taken Naproxen, Vicadin and Tylenol ES) and was trying some of the pressure points I read about for pain control in labor in Peggy's preg book which seemed to actually be helping. Anyway, I tried the pushing/massaging thing and what happens? My cervix closes up tight! So that plan failed

I didn't feel it close but all the bleeding stopped and the contrax majorly backed off. So today I'm stuck with a really sore uterus and finding I need 2 heating pads when I only have 1 for my sore back and my sore uterus and I still cant figure out why the

my crotch hurts! Its ached every time after this labor crap. So today I'll probably spend most of the time in bed with Mr. heating pad resting and drinking hot tea which seems to be helping but I woke up in a lot of pain so I'm going to be sucking down vicadin all day again and praying I have enough to get me though the day because like an idiot I didn't feel like dragging dd into the pharmacy yesterday to pick it up.

Satori- Is there another doctor that you can see? I'm really concerned about you, and really concerned that this has been going on for so long.
