? for ladies who suffered a placental abruption....

[natasja32]

Hey girls... As you are aware we lost Bodhi because i had an abruption. Well i woke up today not feeling great. Im really dizzy and just not feeling weel in general. I have pain at the top of my bump on the left hand side. I know its not baby as he isnt that big yet and i know i had the same with Bodhi,but i cant remember if it was before leading upto my abruption with him or not....I know it might be a sensitive subject but your advice would be so much appreciated. Did any of you ladies have this with your abruptions??? Im getting so worried now...its almost like a really bad stitch pain that gets worse when you move.

 

[natasja32]

Sorry i ment to post in the pregnancy after loss section. If one of the mods could possibly move it for me i would be very gratefull.

Hi Natasja,
As the other Girls have said Please go and get this checked out - it's probably nothing, but go if only to put Your mind at ease. I did feel dizzy
( I won't lie ) but this can be put down to a lot of non serious side effects of pregnancy, ie: I believe even dyhydration and over tiredness can cause dizziness. I didn't experience the stitch like pain though. It's no good me second guessing as I'm not a Doctor, so please make an appointment.
Hope Your feeling much better soon and please keep us posted.
Love Janine xx

Ugh im not happy at all. I phoned the labour ward which was a complete waste of time. I was told that if i wasnt bleeding and baby was moving all they would really do is put baby on the monitor. But i would have to wait hours as they are really busy. So i ended up so upset that i didnt go anywhere. Hubby ran me a bath and made me a drink,gave me some parecetamol and told me to relax. This has helped a little,but my tummy still feels really uncomfortable. The stich pain has gone,but i have some tenderness across my bladder which i mentioned to my mw before which was put down to ligaments stretching. Im not happy at all and im so disgusted with my treatment. Esp considdering that we told them i was high risk because of a previous abruption. So ive not done anything but lay on the sofa and if i dont feel better im going to the hospital in the morning and im not leaving. Baby has been kicking alot so im not worried about his movements. He has had alot of hicups today too. My tummy feels like its hard when i breath in and out but it isnt when i touch it,if that makes sense??? I am so upset.

Hunnie I dont have any advice sorry But if you really are worried I think the hospital should understand & at least scan you even to just put your mind at rest hunnie

 

[lisa_33]

natasja i dont know whether you will be back on again tonight, but if things are still the same i would demand to be seen by a consultant...scream at them if you have to., alot of the time staff dont seem to grasp the importance of any signs at all that could be an abruption and should not be taking any chances with your care
thinking of you xxx

 

[tricky nicky]

if you get njoy with the midwife go to a nad e and they will take you down to the antenatal area, i know its sneaky but you need to get checked out

[Jkelmum]

Hunnie I am sorry I havent been on to read this I am angry for you they know your history and should see you no matter how little or big your worry is ...I would tell them the baby isnt moving much and make out the pain is worse then it is whatever it takes to get seen ...once they see how distressed u are ask for a scan tell them nothing else will ease your worrys

hope everything is ok

 

[jess_smurf]

hope your ok did you getto see anyone xx

 

[natasja32]

Thanks girls...Im having mw pop round in a bit and then i will be going down to labour ward. Mw is coming round to listen to baby and do blood pressure and then im going to the labour ward as i want to have a scan.Im still not sure if they will give me one tho. Im going to stay there untill i have one or until i at least see a consultant. When we lost Bodhi i thought the person looking after me then was a consultant but ive only recently found out it was a regestrar(sp). Im not very happy at all. My mw cant seem to get my a scan for whatever reason and my next one is only end of march.

 

[sawah]

Im pleased your mw is comming out to see you hunnie & I think your right to go & sit until they give you a scan hun! They should offer you one without you having to go thru sitting there waiting hunnie

 

[Babyherd2]

I think Lisa hit the nail on the head - Defo Don't take any chances or allow them to fob You off.
Take Care xx

i hope everything is ok. I had a placental abruption with Reese & they said it was a one off & i had no extra care in my other 2 pregnancies i had reduced movements & wasnt offered monitoring or anything, it turns out that Sydnee's placenta was failing & she was born at 35 weeks (i started bleeding heavily & went into labour)

The bleeding was the same as when i was in labour with Reese & it terrified me. Luckily Sydnee is fine but i was so shocked at the lack of care. I phoned the labour ward when i started bleeding & they said to take some paracetamol & ring back if my waters break!! I gave birth less then 2 hours later!!

let us know how you are

 

[Amos2009]

Just saw this Nat.....I hope you are ok. Make up whatever you have to so they will give you a scan! You would think that with what happened with Bodhi they would give you whatever you want (even if it was just to make you feel better). Let me know how you are. Miss chatting with you.

 

[Las78]

Oh hun, I'm sorry you're worried and not getting anywhere with the hospital. I agree with the others, go in and demand to be seen. Hopefully it won't be anything to worry about but given what you've been through you need the peace of mind right now. Thinking of you and let us know how you get on

 

[im_mi]

well done you for standing your ground, nat. i know its hard but its the right thing to do. Im sure there is nothing wrong but with your history you just cannot take any chances, and the stupid hospital staff should try to understand that! Grr.

Stay strong hunnie and keep us posted!
