I went to my OB today as I had a pretty big bleed last week and passed a really large clot. She gave me an ultrasound one normal and one internal and told me there may be some placenta left inside my uterus she said it is likley to be a clot...although i dont remember much after she said that maybe I will have to have a curet and go under a general anestehic(sp?)
I have never had a general before and I am really scared...also I am worried about how it will affect my BF of DS2?
Has anyone had one of these done after birth? Am I worrying about nothing...will I pass it myself
I had one after giving birth but I was only 18 weeks along. From my understanding it doesn't pass on it's own, if it's stuck there it will just continue to bleed around it and cause the clots. But, it may be different after a full term birth, I don't know...
BUT, a curet isn't that scary. The worst part is getting the IV drip put in, basically. Once you come out and you wake up properly you feel completely fine. No pain, nothing. In my case I felt better as my bleeding was getting quite bad and I was also getting bad cramping, a bit like contractions... As for the BF part, no idea... hopefully someone else will come along to fill you in on that part!
Due to my fear of GA, I had a curette done using epidural. I think they approved the epi as I was going to be staying in the hospital overnight anyway.
All the best hun.
Oh big hugs darling You'll be able to get lots and lots of good info about GAs and BFing here on BB (if you need it). I think i saw a thread about GAs and BFing in the BFing section just the other day.
Thankyou all so much! The hugs mean the world to me. I am still freaking out a little....hope this wont affect me having any more kids...I think thats what is scaring me the most plus the GA
Worried about possible curet?
she said it is likley to be a clot...although i dont remember much after she said that maybe I will have to have a curet and go under a general anestehic(sp?)
