Camille is now five days old and I'm not feeling any better. In fact, I'm feeling worse at this point. I'm bleeding as much if not more than I was in the hospital, and the pain in my middle was still bad. I was actually getting worse instead of better. So, I called Dr. Malak, my Ob/Gyn and spoke to the nurse. She told me to go to the ER immediately and she ordered a STAT ultrasound and also ordered blood and urine tests. So, Frank and I headed to the ER and nothing came up out of the ordinary. The last hope to figure out what was wrong was for the ER doctor to do an internal exam. Upon this examination, he found a small piece of placenta that did not show up on the ultrasound. He said this is what was causing my problems. He ordered me to also take Motrin instead of Tylenol. Motrin is a stronger pain killer than Tylenol.
After this, I felt like I was about a week behind in my recovery, but I started feeling better and was on the road to recovery.
that was an experience for sure, but now it seems like a good turn around! no more ER for us! Knock..Knock. You really seem 200% better. Keep up the good work!!! :-)
