Hemabate postpartum? From: Leigh (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 29 Oct 1998 08:59:30 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Annie: "Painful periods all my life" Previous message: Christy: "Re: Appendicitis, PID, pelvic pain???" Next in thread: William D. McIntosh, MD: "Re: Hemabate postpartum?" Reply: William D. McIntosh, MD: "Re: Hemabate postpartum?" Might I pick you good doctors' brains? I gave birth 2 weeks ago and was given a medication called Hemabate (I'm sure I've spelled it wrong) twice following the birth. I know nothing about this medication. My OB said it would make me sick for about 20 minutes (more like 4 hours) and I ended up needing Nubain and Phenergan to alleve my distress (this after a completely natural birth...I was crestfallen!) If it helps to know, I had a marginal placenta previa which caused a great deal of blood loss (hemaglobin dropped from 11.6 to 8.3) as well as a placental separation and a velamentous cord insertion. My labor started at midnight and I gave birth at 1:41 am to a perfect, healthy 8 pound, 13 ounce daughter. I also have a mild blood clotting disorder. What is this stuff and is it safe? I still don't understand why I needed this instead of pitocin or something. Thanks so much, -- Leigh Next message: Annie: "Painful periods all my life" Previous message: Christy: "Re: Appendicitis, PID, pelvic pain???" Next in thread: William D.
