The never ending pregnancy nightmare vent **update**

When I got pregnant I immediately imagined it to be fun and easy like it was in the movies. I know that is unrealistic and life quickly let me know so as well. At 6 weeks at my first doctor's appt. they told me my pregnancy wasn't viable because there was no gestational sack and wanted to terminate the pregnancy. I went to another doctor for a second opinion and they found my sweet babies heartbeat. Crisis averted. Weeks 9 and 15 I had major bleeding and I thought I was having a miscarriage. Turned out to be a SCH which resolved itself. Week 31 I was diagnosed with PIH and was on bedrest until they induced me at 37 week during which DS had the cord wrapped tightly around his neck, he almost died and I almost bled out. We both ended up healthy and fine. I am 7 weeks PP and went in for my checkup today where they told me they think I have an infection or part of the placenta left inside of me. I have to get an ultrasound and possibly antibiotics and a D&C.

It never ends, I swear. I am not sure I even want to have a second child after all of this. I am nervous to take antibiotics because of thrush or a drop in my supply. I am nervous about a D&C because DH travels and it is just me and LO. Anyone have any encouraging words?

**Update** Well ladies, I had my ultrasound yesterday and I did retain part of my placenta. I am scheduled to have a hysterically tomorrow morning. It is outpatient surgery. The worst of it will be recovering from the anesthesia and then minimal cramping and some bleeding. I will have to pump and dump for 24 hours. Should generally easy but please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!

    I am sorry for your losses @coffee&wine . I can't imagine how hard that is emotionally. I feel bad complaining after being so blessed with a healthy baby boy. I never thought I would have this many complications.

    Wow! I'm sorry the pregnancy, birth and postpartum have all been so dramatic! I'll second that my D&C from a missed m/c was also a quick recovery physically.

    I'm so sorry. I just had a D and C for the same thing last week. I only needed help for a day with LO. Maybe a family member can come if DH isn't there? Or a friend to take you in for surgery. I had it, slept for 12 hours, and then I was back to myself.

    No advice but you are not alone. I'm 7 w PP and still not healed from the c section I didn't want. What's worse is my doctor doesn't even know what the problem is. I'm feeling like I'm never going to heal. It's terrible. My poor 4 yr old keeps asking when mommy is going to be back to normal again and it breaks my heart.

    Sorry it's been so crazy. I had part of the membranes left inside and they started coming out at about a week PP. They had me on antibiotics and we didn't have any issues with thrush. Good luck.

    I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I had a crappy long recovery after my first birth and my episiotomy wasn't healed until I was 3 months pp, I remember being so frustrated that I would never heal and be back to normal :/

    Side note- you may want to get a second opinion about having to pump and dump for 24 hours after the procedure. If the concern is about the anesthesia I have read that once it's out of your system enough for you to wake up, it's safe to nurse.
