Pelvic pain/adhesions/pregancyFrom: Kay (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 28 Sep 1998 07:48:54 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, First let me say how happy I am to have found this website! So many quesions I had but was too embarraced to ask, or didn't know how to phrase, have been answered by reading the postings and replies. After reading through a series of postings in here I made an appointment with my OBGYN and felt comfortable asking my questions, THANK YOU! Now, I have been reading a lot about adhesions lately and have a couple of questions of my own. I am less than 5' tall and the distance between my hip bone and lowest rib is less than 1/2 inch. I had one pregnancy when I was 30-31. Almost from the start it was painful for me. I suffered sharp stabbing pains throughout my abdomine almost from the start. I remember getting very angry with a sister-in-law who had had a baby before and yelling at her, "You didn't tell me how much this would hurt!" She said that it never hurt for her, or anyone else she knew. My baby was getting very large quickly and by 30 weeks I was experiencing contractions whenever I walked around. At 34 weeks they put me to bed because I would have contractions whenever I stood. the size of my stomach was truly frightening to both my husband and me Starting at about 36 weeks my back would go into spasm whenever I tried to sit. I begged my Dr to induce. He refused, saying that the baby was not ready yet. He said that if I went into labor he would try to stop it. At 38 weeks My water broke, an hour later I was in the hospital with pains less than 5 minutes apart. two hours later I started pushing. After and hour and 45 minutes of pushing she was finally delivered. With a cut on her head that they couldn't identify the cause of, a broken collar bone, a badly bruised left arm, my 9lb 4oz 38 week baby girl had a 13" head and a 14 1/2" chest. I had ripped about as far as you can rip and lost a great deal of blood. I was ordered to bed for an additional 2 weeks, but my daughter had jaundice (to be expected after what she went through and her size). Insurance called this a normal delivery and I was sent home in 24 hours. My baby had to return the next day for more tests. So 36 hours after delivery I was walking the halls of the hospital with my baby registering her as an outpatient. They decided to readmitt her for photo therapy. I refused. I was trying to nurse my baby and was supposed to be in bed. All I wanted to do was go home and get in bed with her. They found an alternative known as the Wallaby. and we finally got to go home for good. This was 6 1/2 years ago and I am still haunted by the experience. I still have sharp pains throughout my abdomine. 2 years ago I suffered a complete prolapse and had a vaginal hysterectomy w A&P repair and a bladder neck suspension. Could this have caused additional problems with pain? They send me home after 3 days and I was returned via ambulance with POPS syndrome. I spent another 5 days on powerful pain medications until they found a way to treat it. My tendon shieths were filled with cortizone. The pain of the treatment caused me to faint every time, yet caused enough pain relief that I was able to go home and begine healing. A year ago I saw my Dr for pain, had an ultra sound to rule out ovarian cyst. It was negative. I am about to go in again and am now considering seeing a gastroenterologist. My Pain has been an issue for me ever since I was pregnant over 7 years ago. Are there alternatives I haven't considered? Does anyone else know anyone that has had an experience anything like mine? Was this truly a 'Normal' delivery? ANY input would be greatly appreciated!
