oops scared the doctor

[april & joanna]

Well I just went to see the doctor about my bleeding since April and it
being 6 weeks, she did some swab tests and told me I need to have a scan to
see if I had anything left back after birth. I then came over VERY dizzy and
she told me to lay on the bed, I came very close to actually passing out and
whilst in this state she did BP tests, pulse tests and checked my heart
rate, all were going absolutly crazy so she called the 2nd doctor in and
also my husband. Everything settled down after a while and after I had
caused MAJOR delay in the waiting time scale oops!!!! They muttered
something about a blood transfusion but I dont think and I hope thats not
happening. I am still feeling very weak and now very cold and am now going
to rest on the sofa to try and get strength for tommorow. Well thats my
excitement for the day but oh the picture on the poor doctors face was
definitely something.

April who vows to be good now!!!!!

Don't worry about scaring them - it will give them something to chat about
over their tea-break :)

Seriously though, I hope you're feeling a bit better now...

Take care of yourself x

Dear April

Try not to worry. If they really thought you needed one they would
have sent you to the hospital. They might have been trying to scare
you. Some "goofs" think that this encourages people to take care of
themselves. I happen to think that support and counsel work much
better.

I hope you feel better soon, drink plenty of water and eat well today.

Best
Kath

Too much activity postpartum can cause it.
If there is no other problem going on, then she may
need to take it easier until everything is properly
healed and she's built her reserves back up.
