Hi Ulysses,

I can very much relate to how you are feeling physically. I have previously been through a massive 3l hemorrhage and 'manual removal of clots', which is without a doubt in all my experience the most horrific thing I have ever been awake for. I was transfused with 2 units and kept in hospital for 5 days. Made it home for christmas but people look back on those photos now and comment that I look like a ghost. It took a very long time before I could fully function again. In the case of whether you are physically ready, a few short months later I became pregnant again and carried a term baby, but it did take a great deal out of me just to function during the day. I was completely exhausted most of it and suffered a bit from the perspective of DH not understanding how hard it really was. I also still have obnoxiously low BP and am still anemic near 9 years later. I also developed an antibody that affects future pregnancies from a mismatch of a more intricate layer of blood typing, that is so hard to explain half the doctors I have spoken to don't even know what it is.

It can affect such a huge layer of your life and you need to know in yourself that you are ready because you are the one doing the hard yards. Please look after yourself, don't feel guilty about sleeping and certainly dont be too upset if you are still exhausted a lot. You need to let your body heal.
