RE: [ozmidwifery] Blood clots after VBAC

[Mary Murphy]

Kelly, a lot of this sounds “normal” even the clots, however as a decision is riding on her underlying condition, I would suggest scan to look at the scar area in particular and to see if there are any remnants left behind which could make her bleed. MM   – she had really bad afterpain and felt pain from what she said was her scar. When voltaren and panadeine didn’t help, she had peth as she said the pain was just as bad as labour and wanted some relief. This helped and everything was fine, even breastfeeding went really well. She had a little extra blood loss but nothing excessive. Yesterday she passed three or four golf ball sized clots. Kelly Zantey
