Post Traumatic Stress Disorder... it can randomly strike even the strongest of persons after a terrifying event; it can include having horrible mental flashbacks to the event that leave you in a state of terror again, can make it tricky for some people to keep engaging in day-to-day activities like they used to, and/or it can leave you with a constant high level of anxiety to put up with.  It makes life that much more difficult while the PTSD is at it's worst, and if you have PTSD, it seems the scariest thing that can happen is that you have to re-live something similar to the event that triggered it off in the first place, because all that terror is still lurking there in the background, and a similar event may just bring it all rushing straight back. 

Man, Emma, I hope there's no more events for this pregnancy.  I'm glad to hear that IgglePiggle was bouncing around quite happily after all that worry, but oh my goodness the stress!  Hang in there, hun.

So glad to hear you and bubs are fine though and it sounds like the staff were fantastic for taking care of you so well.

OK so I thought being in Oz at my parents place on the anniversary of our loss would be hard, and I did have a few flashbacks and it was stressful, but boy, I didn't plan on making a return trip to the hospital where I miscarried and had the d and c with a threatened miscarriage at 14 weeks!

I started bleeding on Fri night, but bub was still bouncing around on the doppler so I wasn't too worried but as I am RH neg I had to go to hospital to have the anti d injection.

And the local hospital is Royal North Shore where, you guessed it, I had the d and c. So off I went, hoping to just be able to have the shot and go home.

No such luck. Coz I was still bleeding they wouldn't let me go. Luckily it was a different part of the ED that I was taken to from last time, and the doctor was really good. I did get a bit teary and stressed and started thinking I was going to lose bub, but I explained the PTSD (which is a result of my m/c) to the doctor and he was great about reassuring me and calling the OB reg for a consult. She was even more brilliant and told me how unlikely it is to miscarry at this stage of pregnancy, which was reassuring, but I had an anxiety attack having the anti d shot coz it just triggered too many memories.

Ultrasound showed bub is fine, and all is well with the pregnancy, which is a relief, but damn I was glad to get out of there this afternoon! Talk about a test of my mental health!   ]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2008 21:32:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13586&PID=276617&title=that-was-hard-this-is-harder#276617
