SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Hi! I had retained products and haemmorhaged (completely out of the blue whilst I was having a wee, thought I was going to die 😂) after a missed miscarriage + d&c. The actual procedure you are under general anaesthetic for and at least in my experience was very quick and I had minimal discomfort afterwards. After the first procedure my bleeding picked up again after 3 weeks and I was still testing positive for being pregnant so knew something was in there but I had placenta, sac and thickened womb lining so heaps of junk basically still in me. It's good you're being monitored! If you have any postpartum pads I recommend keeping them handy. When I started bleeding it was like I was peeing blood (I wasn't peeing it was just flowing out) but then I had clots the size of my fist that kinda blocked up the cervix and eased the bleeding off but it would come out if I got up and moved around. Feel free to message me if you have any q!

Sorry just read you had already had bleeding! Have you been given misoprostol or are they just waiting to see if your period clears it out?

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.
