thats such a shame that you missed all that. but def better that you are helathy and able to look after baby now your well. i to had a retained placenta and haemorraged quite badly. thankfully i delivered the placenta myself after and hour and half of trying. was given a transfusion. but count myself lucky that it wasnt more serious.

really pleased to hear your bonding well with your new arrival and hope you have no problems if there is a next time Smile

Oh Emma, I don't really know what to say, apart from I'm so sorry that you've been through all that! I know this isn't really the point, but I hope you're taking legal action - they really must not be allowed to get away with that horrendous treatment of you, and unless they're forced to change their procedures they're a danger to other mothers. I can't believe you had to go through such a thing, it's so shocking. Are you having counselling? It sounds like you could really do with talking to someone about it to help you come to terms with it. I'm so glad you've bonded with Olivia, that is good news - you're obviously a fantastic mum. Take care, you're in my prayers xxxx
