Well i had my baby girl march 18th/2008, was suppose to be due march 11/2008, but she didnt come willingly, i had to be induced, with the strip put inside. i went in on tuesday march 18th to be induced at 8 am. it didnt take right away, they kept me for an hour and sent me home and told me to come back if i had 6 contraction in less then 10 minutes, well i did at 11 am. i went back to the hospital. they put me on the monitor and i was havin contractions 2 minutes apart, but not as strong, but they were, it was all i mean mostly back labour i had.. they checked me, and i was 1 cm dialated. i was complained in the nurse that i felt pullin down there. they checked me, and the cervidil fell out, so i then went to walk around the hospital for a bit, waiting for it to get worse. i needed a drink so i told my sister and my boyfriend i was going back to the labour and delivery room and my sister was getting my cup of water and my water broke. thank god i was in the room. haha. after that contractions got worse. and they wanted to test me to make sure it was my water. because it wasnt a gush it was dribble and it was green. she pooped inside me. they wanted to check me again i was still 1 cm and like 1 pm. and then i waiting around in pain from all the back labour, it was horrible i couldnt sit or anything. so i had to do a slow dance thing to help. they checked me again around 4-5 pm, and i was 4 cm dialated. i was so happy, thats mean i could get some pain relief. i tryed the laughing gas. and that did nothing for me, i couldnt breath, so i need the air mask, then they told me i could have the epidural, but we had to wait a bit of the dr to come and do it. i will tell you what a rude as bitch that gave me the epidural. it took them 6 trys with the wrong needle.(to small) to give me the epidural, and finally about an hour or half hour they got it in. and then they checked me again and i was 10 cm dialated, but i wasnt aloud to push and had to wait for the doctor another 2-3 hours. and pushed for little less then an hour. i had her at 9 pm that night.

They dont classify labour here until you are 4cm dilated. so i was lucky.. after having her, i bled alot, pph, they had to give me the shot in the leg with that needle twice, plus 3-4 other medications for it.

i was fine after a few hours laying in my own blood etc, i was able to get up and the next morning they to the iv off with the meds and gave me another one with the need. i was released the next day at 5 pm the next day. bleeding was good. not heavy, just really light. i went back to the doctors 3 days later because i had a bad odour and they prescribe me a medication, well then that went away, 3 weeks post partum, april the 9th i had heavy bleeding again., the doctor gave me another medication thinkin its an infection. that didnt do nothing, didnt help the bleedin lessen, i then went back to the doctors and 2 other doctors, figured it was a little weird, that the bleedin hasnt stop and its getting worse., they said the only way they are gonna rule out if its an infection or whatever they would try and rush and ultrasound. so i had the internal and regular ultrasound, only to be told, i have to wait for a week for results. well screw that. i was passin large blood clots, with gushes of blood fillin a bad in less then a hour, the first time with with 2 large blood clots and fillin a pad in 10 minutes. so it continue and continue, i couldnt go anywhere, do anything, i went up to emergency for the bleeding, just to be turned down, by to nurses that no nothing, all they said it was normal. and i told them, it wasnt and the first doctor said its not at 3 weeks postpartum. so anyway, i went home. the next day the doctor that i seen before, said they would get the results faxed up, so they did that. and they found that my uterus/cervix was thick. they had to consult a better doctor. a top gyno doc, so i had to wait down at the clinic until the one doctor was availible to call back the doctor. and my doctor is on holiday, she a top gyno to. so they got ahold of the doctor, and he wanted me at the hospital right away, well what they didnt tell me was not to eat. and stuff. so i went up at 12 pm on april 16th, for a d&c they couldnt do it until later that night because i ate. so i had to wait till 8 pm for the D&c to be done, They found a peice of placenta still inside me. which was good that they caught because i could of bled to death from it. And im still thinking about putting a complaint in about the nurses at the hospital that night. its not like i hang in emergency for nothing. i had the d&c, i feel way better now, and im not to sure if i wanna see the same doctor as i was seeing for my baby girl. because they are suppose to make sure its all out, but i dont think they did, and im not sure if want any more kids after this, i didnt get to enjoy the first month of having my doctor because this crap. it was a retained placenta that i had. and it was secondary postpartum hemmroage that i had....

Corn starch can make a diaper rash worse if it is a yeast infection, hope that helps!


marygn - Friday, 9 May
thanks.... i go in on tues, ive had 2 of them before the first one was ok(crampy) but the second one, i was in ALOT of pain, they had to give me pitossin to stop the bleeding, which bought on contractions( i wasnt preggo, but had contractions- that sucked) so we'll see how this time goes.. so how r u doing with your lt girl, i see u had her a week after me and almos the same weight n length! Justina was 8lbs 211/2 in long, she is still long with long arms and long fingers!!! she s gonna be taller than me im only 5'4!!! l.o.l hope all is well, talk soon!


Avocat29 - Sunday, 4 May
Thanks. It's still pretty bad today. Will def get it checked out.


huntersmama - Saturday, 3 May
Wow! I just read what you went through. What a nightmare!!! I can see why you'd never want kids after something like that. I'm glad that you're doing better now though. I was in the E.R. at 3 weeks post partum too. I couldn't breathe and had stabbing pains in my upper sromach. They thought that maybe they missed some of the placenta too, but after tests and an ultrasound this week they decieded that I have Gall stones and have to have my gall bladder removed! They said that this is a common thing to happen after the birth of a second child. I've never heard that before though and I wish someone had told me that sooner.......


mandaNbump - Friday, 2 May
Hi there i was just wandering about your message saying you are still bleeding, is it still red? If you could get back to me it would b great thanks.


newmommyelle - Wednesday, 30 April
thanks for answering my comment. I really appreciate your input. It just really hurts that i've been working so hard and to have my trust broken like that does not feel right.


mummysteph - Monday, 28 April
Congrats on your little baby, she is so cute. Thanks for hte info I will go to the docs if it doesn't stop in a few days.


AntoinetteC - Sunday, 27 April
Thank you so much for replying. I have to go to the drs on Tuesday. I hope this is just normal and not anything out of the ordinary.


peanutmommie - Wednesday, 16 April
i hope they figure out what is wrong soon and you feel better. i had a couple of bleeds like that at 7 and then again at 9 days postpartum. but i only soaked through 1 pad at a time and the dr said it was normal. sounds like you are bleeding a bit more than that. that sucks!!! stay off your feet and get pleny of fluids and rest. good luck!


mazariff - Monday, 14 April
Hey - thank you so much for sharing this with me. I'll be emailing it to my sister shortly. I hope its makes her feel better. I can't imagine what she is going through : to give you an idea, after they could not find the baby's heartbeat, they had to induce her, and she went through a 4-5 hour labor to deliver her baby, one she would know that she would never hear, or keep. Thanks again.


laurabutterfly81 - Sunday, 13 April
Gosh, I hope they find out what is wrong. Hope u feel better and God Bless.


peanutmommie - Friday, 11 April
any bleeding up until 6-8 wks after giving birth is considered postpartum bleeding. i stopped bleeing at 10 days and then started up again for 2-3 days the next week. so it may not be your period yet


Laurabutterfly81 - Friday, 11 April
I delievered March 14th vaginally and my bleeding sounds like your pattern. I will not bleed for a coulple of days and than all the sudden I'm flowing like I'm back on my period. It is normal though to have fluctuations like that. By the way, your baby is so cute!


momoffive - Friday, 11 April
If your not nursing it is probably your period. I know my best friend got hers within a month, right after she quite bleeding she started and she didn't nurse. Bummer. I do enjoy the 6 months or so of not having it :-) Cramps don't go well with trying to care for a newborn. Before I found out I was pregnant I was thinking about going on some form of birth control to stop it and to help with what I thought was depression when my period was due...turns out it was hormones because I was pregnant....which I thought we had prevented already. Maybe I'll look into it now as a backup :-)


momoffive - Friday, 11 April
are you nursing, if so although you can get a period I never have....you may just be overdoing it. I have noticed if I pick my 3 year olds up a lot during the day or we go out and are running around I start full fledge bleeding again. And mine has been very similar to yours. My advice would be to take it easy if the bleeding picks up.

I dont know how early the stiches should come out, but I would deffinately call your dr and ask. I had a horrible tear and my stiches came out too early, I thought no big deal, WRONG. I never healed right and I never will. Things down there will never be the same. I mean it's not open, but it's not right.


pargy - Saturday, 22 Mar
congrats baby girl


marygn - Thursday, 20 Mar
OH, CONGRATULATIONS!!


kim123 - Monday, 17 Mar
Hi, good luck to you, hopefully that was the start of labor!


vixplusone - Sunday, 16 Mar
Hi, thanks for your question. When i was laboring I felt distracted by the need to take a dump, so I asked for an enema to clear me out so I could focus on managing the pain of the contractions. I had had a huge meal the night before, so I knew I was due for a BM, but the enema also insured that the baby wouldn't be covered in it when he was born! Good luck with your delivery!


nuckena - Sunday, 16 Mar
I was in calgary but had to move to edmonton when I couldn't find a resionably priced place to live. Everyone here seems to be from the states


kim123 - Sunday, 16 Mar
Still pregnant too? I feel your pain! Not too much longer I hope! Maybe I will begin walking 3 times a day~!


nuckena - Sunday, 16 Mar
