Well, it was placenta accreta

[nsl]

Oh wow. At least you know now and can get the right medical care if you do decide to have another baby.

[goaskalice]

Yikes! I'm glad you listened to your body and they got you all fixed up. That sucks about the future pregnancies though.

[anlo]

I'm so glad you went to the ER when you did and are doing okay. How scary.

[rex]

omg! I'm so glad you listened to your instinct and went to the hospital when you did and that you are okay.

[bania]

Holy crap! I'm glad you are feeling better and finally have some answers.

[whitemerlot]

Wow! I'm glad you are OK!

[Deleted]

wow, i'm so glad you went to the hospital.

[TrudyCampbell]

Wow, that's crazy. At one point my OB thought that was the cause of my severe hemorrhage but it turned out it wasn't. Glad you're okay!

[christy082]

How scary! Glad you are okay and have an answer. 

[iamgrace]

So glad you are okay!

[Deleted]

Crazy! I'm so glad you're okay.



If it helps at all, even though if you decide for #2 it's a ways away, I loved having an MFM/OB team. You will feel really, really taken care of.

[BaliHai]

That's really scary. I'm glad you're okay!

Also, I agree with ninjabridemom - MFM = us seeing the baby pretty much through my entire pregnancy. It's a pretty great perk.

Glad you're ok! So scary.

Pathology got back to my OB with the results after my D&C and I actually had placenta accreta which is a really rare complication.

If I have another pregnancy I will be considered high-risk and will have to see an MFM and be heavily monitored throughout the entire pregnancy and likely deliver via c-section.

Lovely.

At least I know what it was now. Thank God it's all taken care of.

Holy shit that they didn't catch that while you were pregnant. I had a friend who they suspected had it and they were all over her like white on rice until they confirmed she didn't.

[adlove]

Wow that is really scary! So glad everything is ok now.

[little kicks]

So, of course everybody is different and all, but I thought I would share my story in case it helps.  I had placenta accreta with my son.  I hemorrhaged so badly after he was born that I needed a blood transfusion.  I went on to have a second completely healthy, easy pregnancy and delivery with my second child.  I was watched very closely, but everything went fine!  I hope you have a similar experience if you decide to have a second child!

[daisyheadmaizie]

Holy crap! How scary. I am so glad you are okay and went to the hospital when you did.

[urbancowgirl]

Oh my gosh! Glad you're okay.

[DotAndBuzz]

yikes! I'm so glad you are both ok.

[papie]

OMG I am so happy you are ok.  That is really scary. 

[elleblue]

How scary! I'm glad you're okay.

[Deleted]

That's scary to read about. I'm glad you're ok!

[kristie]

Wow, crazy. Glad everything turned out okay! There are a few situations that you don't discover until after the fact that scare the living crap out of you like this or velamentous cord insertion but they are just so rare and so hard to detect prior to delivery or complications.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Also, having a planned and scheduled c-section was kind of awesome. We knew right after DD was born, that I would have to have a repeat c-section with future kids. We were able to arrange a sitter for DD, H was able to schedule time off, my MiL was able to plan her vacation to coincide with my delivery, etc with DS' birth. My recovery was really easy too.

[eddy]

Wow!

I had vasa previa (so another fun placenta issue) so we had to have scheduled c section with Leo. I had a vagional birth for the first go around. Dude if you have to section, scheduled is the way to go. In many ways it was easier than my vagional birth. And like daisy said preparing for it is the biggest blessing. And because your body isn't exhausted from labor it isn't that bad to recover from a sceduled section.

But these are all things to worry about in the future!

[hymen]

That is so scary, but I'm glad you are ok and now have the info for the future. 

[thebamker]

I'm sorry

My sister had this too and she lost her uterus at 27. I'm happy when I see they were able to stop the bleeding with a D&C. It's so very dangerous.

Feel better soon.

[lilafowler]

Yikes!!!! Poor you! Like others have said you'll be closely monitored with your next pregnancy so it's all good.

[tdk2]

Holy crap! I'm so glad you went in to the doctor asap and they were able to take care of it! Thank goodness. I hope you're feeling better soon!!


My friend had a story like little kicks, so hopefully pg 2 goes well!

[snickers]

I am glad you know what it was, but that is scary.
