I have an appointment with my doc in an hour. I kinda put the whole deal off for the holiday and DHs surgery. I tend to try and see the positives of things, and seemed to just meh at the chance of real complications. I mean even my PPH was really severe - I was actually transfused, two bags. I lost practically half my blood supply and from what DH remembers through the panic of the situation, they very nearly lost me in the delivery suite. I vaguely remember trying to sign something and feeling very dizzy and tired. Yet I never really accepted the severity of the whole thing until last night. I go onto oxytocin drip after the babies now, so its just another thing they do now. Like the heart scans, the weekly blood tests, the weekly ultrasounds from 25 weeks.
This stuff isn't normal. It just kinda all hit me at once last night and scared the hell out of me.





Don't feel silly, I can see why it would be easy to miss 1 + 1 + 1...especially since this isn't your first child. Is it stuff you can do anything about, or is it just something you need to let your health care provider know down the track? Do you have an ob yet?
