Hopefully the worst day of my existence

[anna alw]

Mine is not a birth story as I listen and fell for lies and so my little baby was extracted from me ...

Hopefully its ok to put a link in ... saves me copy pasting but will amend if not ok :)

Please take the time to at least scan over it as I really do not want anyone to follow my path unless you make the informed decison to ....

OMG.....I have no idea what to say, except that I am so sorry you were treated so horribly. I can not believe how awful that must have been.:hugs::hugs::hugs:

I hope things are getting better for you now, as much as possible that is.

I have no words to describe how I feel about what you went through....its unthinkable.
I am wondering if you have been able to find yourself a surrogate??

Much love

I'm absolutely disgusted at the way you were treated. How dare they :mad:

[OJandMe]

Anna, My heart breaks for you.

I just cried and cried through reading your story.:crying:

I hurt for you, and for your husband. For your Angel Babies that would have been earth angels, for your intimate life. For your son.

:hugs: I hope one day you get some answers....
And find a wonderful surrogate.

[2sweetgirls]

This also happened to a very good friend of mine in the UK. She was induced, which failed and then had a c-section. Her uterus wouldn't contract, which she was later told was a rare side-effect of the induction, and they were unable to stop the bleeing. She fell unconcious and her husband was told to sign the consent form for a hysterectomy or she would die. She spent a few days in ITU, but she and the baby were fine. It was her first pregnancy too. I reckon she must have had a surgeon with a better bedside manner, because she came away feeling grateful for her life.
In retrospect, what do you think you could have done to prevent this? If this were one of us, do you think a second oppinion when they were terrifying you into a c-section would have helped?

Anna I think i read your story in a Birthrites mag,im not sure but your story sounds very familar.
I am very lucky that i didn't end up with a Hysterectomy or die myself,7 days after DS was born, I had a emerg c-section,during the caesarean they tore my left uterine artery trying to get DS out as he was very stuck(i had reached 10cm but DS's was in OP postion with a transverse De-flexed head)
The artery was sutured & I lost 2litres of blood had a transfusion(we were never ever told that the artery had been torn just that i had had a "rough" caesarean,i was glad to go home,but after only being home for 2hours i started to bleed really bad(pph) i was rushed into hospital,the Dr didn't know why i hemorrhaged as i didn't have the baby at this hospital & they never knew about the artery(we did not either!) the next day i hemorrhaged again this time alot worse "i thought i was going to die"
I was rushed to theatre,where they couldn't stop the bleeding but i was just stable enough to be transferred to another hospital(my husband was told i may not make it:crying:)
Lights & sirens blazing... I was then taken to another theatre,they performed surgery they did a "UTERINE ARTERY EMBOLISATION" it took several attempts but they managed to block the artery completley,I lost a record amount of blood(at the previous hospital) i was very close to dying,I woke up 2days later in ICU not knowing what had happened.
My Husband/family/friends were all there praying for me,my poor beautiful baby shoved from piller to post.
I am very lucky to still be able to have children & be alive~Recovery was very slow,i have healed alot & i am now 35wks pregnant with what they tell me is another boy,im also aiming for a Vbac.

It has been a huge journey for me.

I want to send you lots of :hugs:& want you too know that i share some of your pain i wish you well in the future & hope you get all the answers you need to move forward.

Hi Anna, My heart breaks reading your story.

[Moops]

Only in the UK :no:
I had a terrible birth in London, obviously nothing like what you went through but I am certain it would have been better in Australia.

Can I ask (if your able) what Hospital it was at? :hugs:

[anna alw]

Thank you for your replies.

Yes the website / accounts do get passed around however it is done to so many in so many countries ...

One of the first to find my account and contact me was a lovely person in australia that had had it done to her. unfortuatnely she changed her e-mail addy so we lost contact and she never get round to writing her account / questionnaire for us. (a couple of others have contacted us from australia)

There are more accounts from lots of countries on www2.a-little-wish.co.uk.

We are gestimating (as no stats are kept) that this is done to 2000 people in the UK alone!! but its hidden and we are told to be greateful and SHUT UP. I dont give out the hosptial
a) it doesnt matter this is happening everywhere
b) Ive been threaterned with sectioning and my child taken by speaking out ....

Yes please pass on ALW details to everyone and anyone - as I dont want them to follow my path ...

[mumofcodyandjesse]

its so hard to pull yourself away from an awful thing, espeacily when you know with all your heart and soul that your motherly instinct will guide you and show you the way. i admire you for not giving up, and for fighting for what believe in. i hope you get the family you long for. all the best.:hugs:

[reAllytee]

I am just utterly speechless.

My heart breaks for you.

I will certainly be passing this on !
