could this be why

Let me explain.. my body has been thinking im still pregnant.. tasha you may have read my post on pf.. i lost a huge peice of placenta last night since that came away bailey has been feeding and my milk has flowed so much its squirting every where.. theres loads of it.. i can even pump off 6oz's.. so with that inside of me all that time do u think that could have played a big part in my milk being slow and not much!

Did you talk to your gp or midwife about that?
Noone never noticed that nt all placenta came offf after the birth? Did you had any other symptoms than low milk supply?
sorry, for all questions, but I've never heard of it...
:aww:

yeah i went to the docters last night about it, he said im severly infected and put me on tablets to clear the infectio up etc and said i needed a scan asap.. went to my own docs this morning to arrange one and he wouldnt, just put me on pills instead and said come bck in 2 weeks if your still bleeding..
i had a section so all the placenta should have been removed by them and it wasnt..
i had tummy pains, metalic taste in my mouth and of course not eing able to feed properly..

I have managed to start the ball rolling for complaints against the hospital and my own gp.. and i have to go bck on wednesday to see the consultant who did the section.. maybe get some answers but im wondering if all this is the case of why everything been so wrong, not feeding, bleeding etc etc
raghhh bloody hospitals..

jeezz, really scary!
could you go to different gp? or ask for gyno refferal, so they could scan you? I don't think private is possible, or is it?

I would send this consultant with no socks back home..you could get in touch one of thosepatient organisations, helping to deal with butchers like he...You could get ompensation for that. And I'm syre this was a reason for low milk supply and your health troubles!
Just remember to tell every doc ypu are bf, so they wont give you any meds not suitable for bf mothers. I'll pm you with some info on meds and bf while ill. :aww:

My good god!!! Fiona thats absolutly terrible! I cannot believe you were let home with placenta still inside you

Know wonder you've been having problems, your body has a nasty infection to fight!

This is disgusting! don't just complain to the hospital , get a health Solicitor involved, this is very wrong! This could of been very dangerous.

Hun you should be so proud of yourself!! :aww: You really deserve a medal!!

:boob:

well the hospital contacted me 1 hour after i made the first compalint.. i have to go see the consultant who did the section on wednesday! i have alos told my hv about everything and explained i needent have suffered all this time.. so i want something done.. do you really think i should see a solicitor though apparently its commen to leave placenta inside.. yuk!

Hun its dangerous!

I would seek some legal advice outside of the doctors and HV's.

I've found a website of patients Association, they might be helpfull:
http://www.patients-association.org.uk/default.asp
you could try to contact them and ask what questions ask to the consultant, and what to do.
http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/family_parent/health/nhs_complaints.htm - this is a link to NHS website:Complaints.#
and Department of Health:
http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/index.htm

Well, if it is common for them to leave placenta inside- this is even bigger reason to contact solicitor!!!This is just NHS, just when I thought nothing can suprise me!
Try Patients Association, they will give you good advice!

omgoodness, I hope you are ok!

That would totally explain your nursing problems....yes, your body would think you are still pregnant if you retain a section of placenta.

My goodness, I'm glad you weren't seriously ill because of this!!


:aww: :aww: :aww: :aww: :aww:

thanks for the links..

i have just tried contacting some one and all im getting "im sorry non of our volonteers cannot take your call, we are open 10-4"

well its gone 10 o clock.. grr

Keep trying and send them e mail, just in case! Good luck, Fiona!

they rang me bck 10 mins ago, sending me out some letters that i can use.. they told me 1st thing i need to do was go bck to the hospital and docter and tell them im not happy, then if im not happy with there outcome of things then i take it further.. i just dont want this happening to anyone else.. what if it happens to a 1st time mummy.. she be put off for life!

You are doing great thing, hun! :aww:

Yes absolutely, you are doing a great thing!

Be warned though, because they are health professional they will try and worm their way out of this, do not stand for it! Stand your ground and take it all the way!

You are well within your rights too!

We are all here for support :aww:

Well done!

yeah tash this is what mark is saying they will worm there way out of it, but i will let you know what they say tomorrow..

Goodluck hun :aww:

thank you, got hv coming tommorrow at 3 too, she was disgusted at what she heard, she even knew how long it took them to sterlise me, and she said it was too long, she thinks i had a abrubtion on the table, cos i bled loads as well 1000mls which was alot, its just a case of neglect really as they didnt tell me and was so slow getting the info out to relevant ppl..

That is just soooooo wrooong!

:aww:

wrong wrong wrong!!
