Hi all,
I had an emergency c-section with my twins in July 2010. They were full term and about 7lbs each.. I'm only 5'4" and typically around 125lbs so needless to say, I was stretched to the max! Just after the babies came out, I hemorraged because my uterus had basically given up. They were able to stop the bleeding but I had to have blood transfusions and it was quite scary.
We just learned we are expecting again! I am nervous of bleeding out at another c-section. If this is a singleton pregnancy (I think it is, thank goodness), then the odds are much lower.. but I'm still very nervous.
Has anyone hemorraged in c-section and had a successful section after that?
Thank you!!
p.s. I dont want Mom's freaking out this will happen to them during a c-section. It's highly unlikely. It only happened to me because I carried twins on a small frame for 40 weeks, and they were pretty big. No worries!
Re: Worried about another C-section
That was my worst fear when I had my RCS, no issues with my first but for some reason I couldn't get the possibility of bleeding out of my mind. I actually made DH promise that if it came down to it, he'd make sure they'd save DS over me, etc, etc. Thankfully all went well this time as well.
I can imagine having the experience in the past has got to make your fears more intense, thankfully I think these things are rare.
Congrats on carrying twins to term, that's great! You must be a strong lady!
