Hi all
Just needed to share my story on this thread as I am so heartbroken and need to talk to others in the same situation.
Yesterday, I was 12 weeks exactly. I had a scan at 7+4 and was due the 12 week one this Friday. On Sunday I noticed light period cramps which went away. I have had abdominal pain thoughout but only occassionaly and it was put down to streching ligaments and conspitation by GP and Midwife.
Yesterday I went to the loo when the cramping returned and noticed light brown spotting and wasnt overly concerned. An hour later the cramps got worse and I noticed bright red blood. I work in an A&E department and told my supervisor. She had me assessed by another nurse and it was then the cramps turn to contractions and the blood was pouring out.
When I went next door to get a pad I became very pale and collapsed and clots started passing. An A&E doctor came in and I was rushed to maternity.
I was then rushed to threatre where I had an endotracheal tube inserted, transfusion set up and my heart rythm was totally irregular and I nearly had to be shocked back to normal. They told me afterwards I lost 1500ml of blood and was critically ill for 5 minutes of the proceedure until they stabilised me.
I was discharged tonight and am now home feeling totally devestated and wondering what to do next.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice?
