Omg, I feel your pain. I bled a lot, so my OB did a uterine sweep to make sure no placenta buts we're still inside. I was totally unmedicated. I resisted the urge to kick him in the face, barely.

Bump!

What an amazing birth story!

Omg, you're so strong! When I had DS, the Dr had to reach inside once just to make sure no piece of the placenta was left. (My cord had also detached but the placenta got out in what we thought was one piece when another small piece got out like 30 min later. Hence the digging to make sure it was the last piece). And it was more painful than pushing my baby out!

Congrats on your successful VBAC! Glad to hear it looks like you're in the clear. Good job, momma!! ?

Trying for a VBAC in November! Using your tips! Thank you & Congrats!

I'm being discharged right on time n thank God. They say I should be out of the scary zone

You're fantastic! I'm glad you got your VBAC but I'm so sorry about the problems with the placenta. That's scary! Will they be keeping you longer for observation?

Inspiring

Congratulations Mama! ❤️

They're still worried about infection but they did an ultrasound and it seems clear. I've been watched more carefully. Heck, didn't let me off the labouring floor for 7 hours instead of 2

Wow you are one strong mama! TY for the tips!!

Congrats on your new baby. The digging part made my stomach turn. That sounds awful and im sorry you experienced that

Omg! I had 4 unmediated uterine sweeps after my second was born!!! I had a low lying placenta and bled a lot in delivery, so they made sure all of it came out. I wanted to kick my OB in the gut.

Oh geeze girl!!!

Glad you got your vbac!!! And unmedicated!

Sorry about the retained placenta! That's rough! Hopefully they got it all & the rest of your recovery is smooth! Fx

Kinda the same thing happened to me.

It's called a retained placenta. I hemorrhaged bad. She literally stuck her entire arm inside of me and ripped the rest of the placenta out. I'm hoping it doesn't happen again with this next labor. It was pretty traumatic. I had the epidural but I could still feel it. ?

omg, elbow deep. wowww you're amazing ?? thanks for sharing!

Dang ironman.. my uterus hurts for you ? But seriously, congrats on your new baby and all the work throughout your pregnancy to try and encourage a VBAC outcome! You are such an inspiration!

Omg iron ? I'm cringing in phantom pain.

Are there follow ups to make sure you're all clear after this? No worry of infection?

And congratulations!!!!

Welp. I didn't even know that was possible...... is it too early for me to second guess a natural birth? ? Damn, you are a warrior. Congratulations on your vbac and baby girl!

Holy crap. How painful was that??

My ob had to go back up and get out blood clots before I went to the OR and that was 10x worse than giving birth, and I had the epidural. You're a strong woman!

Congrats momma

Btw you are a damn beast. ??? thats amazing you were able to do that in itself. Naturally i just straight commend you(bow down emoji)
