Retained products? UPDATED :(

[Laura_C]

Im now 4 weeks postpartum following an elective c section and ive been cramping on and off for a week or so, tonight though it became like contractions - felt like I was in labour!

Been to A&E tonight and they think I have retained products from my section
I've got to go back in tomorrow morning for a scan! Luckily the pain seems to have eased at the moment but they have sent me home with lots of painkillers to get through tonight.

Has anyone else had anything like this and am I possibly looking at a D&C??

I had a retained placenta with Lacey but had it removed within hours of giving birth.
Hope they sort it out for you quickly hun xxx

oh christ you poor thing. After c sec with jude i had a funny smell they did swabs and found nothing i kept going back and was just dismissed i thought it was bacterial vaginosis. Turns out my uterus and bladder became fused together and they found out when they opened me up for this c sec. I need to go to docs to ask more questions. hope your ok honey xxxx

Well not had scan yet, it's tomorrow at 10am.
They could only fit me in at 10am this morning and I only managed to get through to them at 8:45am, so didn't have enough time to sort childcare for the girls and get someone to take me up to the hosp managed to sort everything for tomoz though.
I was just thinking that a was healing well and I was starting to feel better then this starts
Grace is off school poorly too with a chest infection so I'm just mega stressed

I've been in agony again today, just dosing up and having hot baths and using heat pad. Let's hope this scan finds what's going on!

Only got home from hospital about 3:30pm - I do have retained placenta and am booked in for an emergency D&C tomorrow afternoon to remove everything. Could see it all on the scan, they have left so much behind, I just don't understand how!!!

I had to have to most horrific internal exam ever, I was in excruciating pain cos the contracting had started again so the doc said he wanted to check my cervix. It was dilated with a huge blood clot stuck there. He removed it and there was just so much clotting he wanted me to be done today if possible but the soonest emergency slot they had was tomorrow!

They wanted to admit me until it had been done but I asked to come home with strong painkillers. I'm now smacked off my face with allsorts to get me through until tomorrow. There is a huge piece of placenta stuck high up in my uterus and my body keeps trying to expel it but it won't come. Doc thinks it's too big to pass at home without complications, he said I could of tried that with some tablets but he thought it wouldn't be affective and would be excruciatingly painful. They are worried about infection given that I'm just over 4 weeks postpartum and it's still there
