Exhausted

[mistyblue]

Hi all,

The bleeding has mostly stopped. It's on and off at the moment, but is more like a brown discharge now (sorry tmi) and I feel physically ok most of the time, but I am very pale (apparently) and I am very tired. I am taking iron tablets and a multivitamin to boost me a bit, but I am exhausted. The hospital told me I had lost a lot of blood, but no transfusion was required. My mc happened last Weds, so I am not too concerned that I am still lightly bleeding as I know it can continue for a couple of weeks, but I am worried that this tiredness is not right. I was expecting to feel physically stronger by now - is that stupid? I'm due back at work on Monday so I need to feel better by then.

I had some pains last night which were similar to much less painful versions of the contractions I had during the mc, which have gone now and no clots or anything like that came away, just some more brown discharge. I don't have a fever or smelly discharge, so I don't think I have an infection (touchwood). Again, sorry if tmi.

Is there anything else I can do to help my physical recovery? I want to get back into my exercise regime, but don't know if I should yet and can't find much advice on the subject x x

Hey hun, sorry for your loss.

I think its normal to feel like that, i was the same. Your body has been through a lot so you're bound to feel run down. As well as the emotional toll it can take.

With the exercise, i would say contact your doctor (just a phonecall) or the epau/midwife. It might depend on how far pregnant you were but if u lost a lot of blood that might be an issue.

Hope you're ok xxx
