Hi all,
Just wondered if what happened to me had happened to anyone else or if anyone had heard of it happening?!?!
I will explain briefly! 5 days after having my section my wound burst open and my intestines came spilling out of my stomach! Was airlifted to hospital and everything was put back together and I'm now fine!
I had my section at Dr Grays Hospital in Elgin, Scotland. My wound had been bleeding for about 3 days afterwards quite heavily. When they eventually took the dressing off for good there were 2 lumps poking out of my scar (it looked like lumps of fat?!?) and my stomach was a funny shape (long and hard and was quite square!) I didn't realise this wasn't normal as I've never had anything like this done before. The doctors let me out of hospital and then 2 days later the wound burst open when I bent down in the shower with my intestines spilling out on to my hands!
It was most probably the most scary thing that has ever happened to me but all is well that ends well! As far as I know this is NOT common but I wondered if anyone else had had a similar experience?
