*update*Thoughts and prayers needed. TMI in post FYI.

Yesterday was my first day home with Natalie alone, hubby went back to work. It was going very well until about 4 pm when I passed a large clot when I went to the bathroom. Afterwards I started hemorraging so I dialed 911 and was rushed by ambulance to ER. (I had soaked through numerous pads and all of my clothes by the time the ambulance arrived.) My hubby made it home right before we left in the ambulance so he packed up Natalie and followed us to hospital.
When we got to the ER they couldn't stop my bleeding and my uterus was filled with clots. So they rushed me to OR and did a d&c where they found small parts of my placenta still inside and that was causing the bleeding. I am also a lovenox patient and so that wasn't helping things. But they said the lovenox did NOT cause the problem it just didn't help anything. So they cleaned everything out and put me back on pitocin and many other drugs to stop the bleeding and contract my uterus.
They made me sign consents that if they couldn't stop the bleeding they would have to do a hysterectomy. I've been praying and praying and praying it doesn't come down to that. So far this morning so good the bleeding has dramatically slowed and Dr's are confident that it will only get better from here.
They've had to give me two blood transfusions too so I pretty much feel like CRAP. But they are letting me snuggle my baby and keep her with me and my hubby hadn't left my side. My baby did need to use some donor breast milk though since some of the meds made mine unusable. But now I've already started feeding again.
I'm in intensive care but if things keep going well I will move to a regular room later. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I will be SO devastated if I cannot have more children and I can't stop thinking about it.
****They were able to save my uterus and stop the bleeding. I have never been so grateful in my entire life. I was just moved from intensive care to a regular room. I am terrified to stand up/ move around because I don't want to start bleeding again. But Dr's keep assuring me that all will be fine ...Thank you everyone for your kind words. Definitely the most terrifying day of my life. *****
