Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 After giving birth to my girls I had some fairly major health complications and ended up in hospital for the better part of 3 weeks. I had an infection and a very rare condition called ovarian vein thrombosis. Because of the thrombosis I give my self two injection per day for blood thinning which means I cannot have any surgery etc until after I'm through with the injections. My specialist told me today that I can finish them on 10 Oct this year which means if I can find a doctor who performs the ab I may be able to have it done this year instead of waiting until next year. I live in Brisbane, Australia and my OB's only know of one man who does them and he's only done 7 so I'll need to do some investigating. Anyway this is exciting and scary as I'm sure you all understand. I still wouldn't start TTC until the beginning of next year, but thats still a lot sooner than we thought we could. I really wonder though how I will cope emotionally with being pg again. I can't imagine going through all of that again, its seems like it would be too much to bare. Just tonight when I cuddled my little boy before putting him to bed I started crying just imagining that I was really holding one of my little girls and then coming back to reality only to realise that I will never be able to hold either one of them in my arms. Elaine Matt 17 mths – emergency vag/cerl 24 wks, delivered 35 wks PROM Paige and Amy – preventative vag/cerl 14 wks, delivered alive 20 wks, passed away short time later wrapped in my arms. Babies were suffering from chronic Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). Unsure whether I/C or TTTS caused cervix to dilate and stitch to fail.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Great news on maybe having the surgery done this year. Australia sounds as bad as South Africa LOL. My OB could only find one doc who had done it (and he had done 12). I eventually found another doc but quite far away from where I stay. The one consolation is that I have been told that the operation is actually a very simple procedure really (and easier if you are not pregnant). The doc who did my op actually said he didn't know why there were not more doctors who did it, because it was actually an easy operation. When you find out who the doc is and all his details, please pass them onto me so I can update our doctor database.
