has anyone had another baby after a post partum hemorrhage? if so, did you hemorrhage again? i had my ds 2.5 years ago and hemorrhaged so badly i almost lost my life. my dh wants to have another baby, i am so scared to leave my ds, child, dh, family, friends everything. i saw the obgyn that treated me and she essentially blamed it on the nurses (which we assumed). i have yet to see my midwife since my 2wpp visit. would you chance it or be happy with just one? edit, i also had pre-e and gd.

Re: another after severe post partum hemorrhage?
not a red head. i am just very tiny and had a 10lb'er. nurses weren't checking my uterus enough, and when they did they thought it was urine (my catheter came out in the or), but it was really blood. my pulse skyrocketed, my bp dropped morbidly low. small hospital so an obgyn had to be called, i was rushed to or for d&c, given lots of blood. i saw that same obgyn a few weeks ago, she said i can go for it and they would monitor me. i am still so nervous, and even went for a second opinion but the lady didn't have a recommendation either way.
boxergurl, sorry you had to go through that.
i had dreams i would have a 10lb'er. at 12w, he measured about 8d ahead, at 20w about 9/10d ahead. i knew all my dates so i knew i was not wrong. she thought i was crazy for having those dreams. i had to meet with a nutritionist because of the gd, and i was already doing everything that she recommended. i had to check my levels four times a day. two days before i had my ds the midwife predicted he was no more than 8lbs. i was also 8d over edd. date of ovulation is next week, i am thinking we might go for trying.
