Well two days after i had her i was having a hard time breathing not to mention my whole body was in a none stop trembling,i was rushed to delivery doctors every were i was being pocked with needles "iv's" a cathader and the nurses never left my side for two days only to allow my father and partner to visit with me? Felt very weird i could not see straight the light hurt my eyes my body was saying get up and go but the nurses kept giving me adivans to keep me still,my body was full of fluids it hurt to touch me. Anyways today i feel slower than i was before this ordeal"my mind does not respond quite as fast"on the left side of my body i have a persing pain from the front to the back samething like a heart attack. I was 120 before pregnancy 270 after and only god knows how much two days after delivery and today am still very over weight , also the doctors tell me i can have no more children i do have 4 know but our goal was 5 can give me some answers as to if some of these effect are from the drugs and why this happened two days after delivery when i was told it should never have happened and what are my odds of having another child. Please help me understand what has happened to me... yours truly bernadette |
mag sulfate responseHELLO... MY NAME IS MINDY AND ON 5/23 I GAVE BIRTH TO A VERY UNHEALTHY BABY BOY. ON 5/20 I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 13 POUND WEIGHT GAIN IN 48 HOURS WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR A PREGNANT WOMAN, AND TO GO HOME. SO, I DID. 1 DAY LATER I WAS RUSHED TO LABOR AND DELIVERY AND WAS TOLD I WAS ECLAMPTIC AND NEEDED TO BE DELIVERED EARLY. 5 WEEKS EARLY TO BE EXACT. WHEN I GOT THERE MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS 178/100 AND THEY INDUCED AND BROKE MY WATER AN HOUR OR SO LATER. I WAS ALSO GIVEN MAG AND IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO DIE. I HAD THE EXACT SAME VISION ISSUES AND I WAS SO WEAK THAT I COULD NOT WALK OR STAND. I ALSO HAVE SOME SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS AND WAS VERY COMBATIVE TOWARDS FAMILY WHICH IS NOT LIKE ME AT ALL. MY MAG WAS ON A DRIP THRU AN IV LINE GIVEN OVER 48 HOURS. MY LEGS WERE ALSO SO SWOLLEN THAT THE DAY I GAVE BIRTH I COULDN'T WALK. MY BABY SUFFERED NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE DRUG AND WAS ON A BREATHING MACHINE FOR 3 DAYS DUE TO HIS INABILITY TO BREATHE AFTER THE DRUGS WERE GIVEN. I TOO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD AND WAS WONDERING IF THEY HAD TOLD YOU THAT THE MAG WOULD PREVENT A WOMAN FROM HAVING ANOTHER. NO ONE EVER INFORMED ME OF THAT AND I WOULD BE VERY UPSET IF THAT WERE THE CASE. IF YOU GET ANY MORE INFO WOULD YOU PLEASE FWD IT TO ME? I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
