I had my daughter in December last year and had a very difficult labour with the use of suction cap, forceps and an episiotomy. As if that wasn't bad enough, I was still bleeding fresh blood three weeks later but I was told that this was probably normal so soon after delivery. I also had such severe pelvic pain that I had to hop around on crutches during this time, which was very depressing when I was learning to care for a newborn. No doctor or physio could diagnose the exact reason for my limping. Then one morning when I went to the loo, I felt that something was hanging out which I initially thought was some toilet paper getting stuck. I had a look with a mirror and to my horror realised that something "meaty" looking was hanging out of my vagina. I rang the hospital in a panic and they referred me on to my obstetrician. I was able to see him straight away and to his great surprise, he found that my entire amniotic sac had been left behind in the uterus....how this could have happened in the first pace I will never know as I have been told hospital staff are supposed to check everything. He removed it straightaway at his surgery and about two days later my bleeding eased right off to almost nothing and eventually turned into a yellowy brown discharge which was normal. I was also able to ditch the crutches, two days afterwards as well, so obviously my pelvic pain and walking difficulties was somehow interlinked to the sac being left behind. This mistake by hospital staff could have caused me to either haemmorage or cause a serious infection.... I will stop rambling now, but I would say get yourself checked out by a trusted doctor straightaway for peace of mind. All the best!
