Hello everyone, sorry for the delay in response. I have not had a chance to respond yet as my little boy has recently had surgery and life has been a bit crazy! I will write longer when I get a chance, meanwhile, I am so sorry for everything you have been through. I experienced a PPH one week after giving birth. It was completely unexpected and I did not even know such things could happen. I woke up from surgery with my uterus, tubes, and hopes for having a "normal" life and more children...gone. It was and still is devastating. I have not received any local support even though I have reached out for it with my OBGYN and the hospital. People act as if it is "no big deal" and always say dismissive things such as, "At least you have..." I feel those comments actually make things worse and make me feel crazy for having such a hard time with this! Anyways, I will write more later. For now, I hope that you can find people who will let you process and work through the sudden loss of everything that goes with an emergency hysterectomy. Sending lots of love and strength!

Oh, @kristap31. Those comments are so hurtful and completely lack understanding.
I really appreciate your popping in briefly to respond to @kbreder.

Krista, what type of surgery did your son have to have? How is he doing? How are you doing?

I completely understand you're frustration with those statements. I contacted May0 because i couldn't get andwers local. Whenever I shared my concerns about my symptoms I was always told "if that'ds the only thing we have to worry about after all you've been through, then we should be happy." Dr. Cope called them "quality of life issues" and I had never felt so heard in my life! Finally felt like someone was willing to listen and explore options for a better life. Surviving near death doesn't mean we have to give up a quality of life. I truly hope you find someone to listen to you.
I hope your son's surgery went well and you get some relief from the stress soon.
