I had my 6w postpartum visit today... I mentioned to my OB that I thought I might have expelled some small pieces of placenta a couple weeks ago (GROSS). She sent me for an u/s, and sure enough, I have a golfball sized chuck of placenta stil attached to my uterus -- it even has blood flow still going to it. So basically if I don't get this removed, I could hemorrage or it could become septic & potentially life threatening. WTF, right??? So the only way to remove it is a D&C. Like I have time for that. Luckily my SIL is going to take ther older 3 kids for a few days, and I'm splitting the babies up between two friends that day.
After the horrible birth experience I had, plus this, I am getting annoyed!!! The plus side is that I will get a day off of mommying to rest... isn't that kind of wrong to think that? LOL
Just had to share...

Awww Jamie - Im sorry you had such a hard time this time around :-( I hope it all goes easy for you and that you are able to heal quickly!
BTW - I would totally look forward to having a day of rest and if it was ME, I would be milking it for at least 2-3 days! LOL I remember when Sammy was up EVERY two hours for the first SIX MONTHS of his life - and not wanting to have anything to do with a bottle for the first FIVE months I was so friggin bleary eyed and exhausted I was actually looking forward to going to the DENTIST - the FRIGGIN dentist - for a crown. I think I fell asleep during it!!! HA!
Geez girl, you deserve/need/should get a break!!!

Hope all goes well - and enjoy your rest! ITA with the PP's - milk it for a couple extra days if you can, or at least have someone staying with you afterwards to help for a couple if you can.
Lots of hugs & prayers!
