midwife appt
Jul. 5th, 2011 09:49 pmHad my postpartum visit with the midwife today. The good/bad news is that it was with the one that I don't like that doesn't attend births - the one that told me I was too fat back in january and that's why she couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. Anyway, it was only good because she's also a lactation consultant so I got more advice (and, of course, different from what everyone else says) and was told not to give up cause whatever milk I give her is great yada yada yada.
I was asking about the placenta issue and how common it is or how likey it is to happen again she wouldn't really give me a straight answer just that "well, now we know to be on the look out for it during your next birth". She also mentioned that my epidural had run its course by that point so that's why the pain was so horrific. Well, thank you. Perhaps someone coulda topped that off before climbing inside of me?
I also asked about the lacerations/excessive bleeding. She was trying to convince me that Ziva must have come out with her hand on her face and that's what caused the laceration so deep inside of me - like her arm or something rubbed and scratched me. I told her I know she didn't come out like that. I have it on video. And, she's like no that's probably what happened. This seems really weird to me since I KNOW she didn't come out with her hand on her face. Mark and my mom think they're trying to cover up something which seems plausible at this point. Especially when I mentioned that I think the tear happend when the dr went in to rip out my placenta and she was like "oh no that woudln't do anything" Really? Someone reaching into my vagina almost up to their shoulder can't cause any damage? And it must be how my kid came out even though I have it on video that her hands were at her side. Mark wants me to request a copy of my hospital records cause it's all weird.
She checked out the nether regions - I'm still swollen. Shocking, I know haha. She told me I shouldn't be having sex yet - yeah, no shit. I asked about doing kegels and she was like no no don't do that yet.. don't do anything there until you see us again (in another month). So, I'm guessing I still look like a car wreck down there. Honestly, I haven't checked. It makes me nervous and I don't want to know what's going on there. One day, I'd like to enjoy sex again so hopefully they didn't ruin me for life.
