Nelle - I know scary business, I say over 4 litres of blood I lost as I lost 4 litres on the operating table when undergoing my D & C, they were pumping me with blood and fluids (apparently my ob`s were always fine, you`d wonder how when loosing all that blood) and it was just luck that they managed to save my uterus, I was loosing volumes of blood before I got to the operating table plus clots the size of my fist (sorry for TMI), it was all from neglect from where I birthed Adrian, they sent me home knowing I wasn`t well with a uterus which was diverted over to the right within 2.5 days of getting home I was rushed to emergency in an ambulance as I couldn`t stand up and starting to loose focus, thank goodness they sent me to a different hospital which was more caring and fixed me up saving my uterus, my OB now can`t believe I went through all that and still managed to keep my uterus he said usually they just do a hysterectomy but they knew I wanted it saved so tried stopping the bleeding with a water filled balloon up there which the next day they took 1ml out an hour, that was scary business just touch and go if I started bleeding again but someone was looking after me

Sorry long post, took me a long time to recover physically and mentally.
