Finally understand

To a very small extent what my cousins felt when I got pregnant at 16 and they couldn't have kids after 8 years of trying at that point. I am absolutely heartbroken for my best friend tonight. She is just 7 weeks post partum and started having complications last week. They found out today there was placenta left behind and depending on her MRI she is looking at having a hysterectomy if its attached to her uterus which at this moment the dr is 99% sure is the case. The bright side, she was able to have a healthy, beautiful baby girl. The down side she's always wanted a big family and lots of kids and she's fairly young (25). I look at my 2 little ones tonight and realize how blessed i am to have them. It's like we plan our lives for the most part, graduate, go to college, start our careers, get married, have babies. I know this isn't everyone's same plan but you get the gist. Until one of those options are taken away and you never thought of it even being a possibility. She's the 4th friend in just a few months that something's happening fertility wise and it's truly heartbreaking. These women would be the most incredible mothers, but for whatever reason it's not in their deck of cards, but yet so many that shouldn't have kids keep popping them out. By that statement I'm referring to those like Casey Anthony, the lady who took her child to NY to be a prostitute etc. Sorry just needed a place to vent for a moment. But if any of you pray or like to send good thoughts/well wishes I know she would greatly appreciate them

    Thank you and absolutely! She's had a rough time, trouble conceiving then was in labor for 22 hrs pushing for 3 before the dr realized the babies head was caught under her pelvis. Her poor forehead was a big bruise for almost the first 2 weeks and had busted blood vessels in her eye. They finally did an emergency c-section. Just hope the drs give her good news tomorrow and it all works out the way she hopes it does
  • this breaks my heart! sending T&P to your friend and hope everything turns around for the better! 


  • I am so sorry to hear this for your friend. I am so happy to hear that she delivered a healthy little girl! Sending thoughts, prayer, and well wishes her way!

  • I never fully grasped how difficult fertility problems were for people until my sister had 2 back to back miscarriages. Thank God, she now has the world's greatest daughter who is all kinds of awesome. But for awhile there, things didn't look like they would happen and it was just.....devastating....

    Prayers for your friend. Nobody should have to go through that.

  • That really sucks. But I wonder why aren't they just doing a D&C instead of a hyst?

  • The plan was/is a d&c but if they get in there and the placenta is attached to the uterus they will have to do the hyst. They said she would hemmorage if they tried to remove just the placenta. They called to schedule the d & c today so they won't know if there will be a hyst until they are in there for the d & c. I told her about my post and she thanks you for the thoughts and prayers
  • That makes more sense. Fingers crossed for an easy placental removal :-)
