Help Posted: 03-17-07 13:14pm
guys help.. anyhow im a little nervous i
know this doesnt have to do with pregnancy
but im not sure what topic it would fall
under.. anyhow i went to the doctor for
postpartum checkup and i had a different
doc look at me.. anyhow i was having
extreme abdominal pain that just started
the past couple days. so the midwife asked
for a surgen.. a surgen different from the
one that did my c-section basically told
me that my surgern f'd up and that from
the feel and pain my surgen probably
sutchered my fascia and my abdominal
muscle together.. they arent supposed to
be together one is supposed to slide back
and forth under the other.. well not now..
so he thinks ill need a revision.. i dont
want surgery again! Anyhow the other thing
was the two docs looked at each other like
not again.. that this is the handy work of
my surgen.. like its happened many a
times.. how messed up! what am i supposed
to do.. and a doc isnt supposed to imply
that another messed up.. any advice or has
anyone gone through this! please anything
would be great

Wow. I haven't had a c-section, but that
sounds so painful! I would definitely
consult an attorney and ask if this sounds
like malpractice or if it's one of those
fluke things that happens sometimes.
As far as your pain and a possible second
surgery, I wish you the best of luck and
hope you'll keep us updated!

thanks hun.. im really nervous.. one lady
said that my body might be able to fix
itself.. but sometimes it wont and they
said that i could never be a competetive
swimmer or exerciser again.. im so mad.. i
am huge on keeping my body decently fit...
they only recommend walking.. and that
heavy breathing will cause me pain in the
furture if this is the problem.. .so what
the heck! i feel like my life is changed!
well im going to look more into it! thanks
hun again for the support.

Wow. I am not a "law suit crazy" person
but if this whole mistake will cause you
to reduce your lifestyle then I would say
that you have a case. I would be really
upset. So, are they saying that even with
corrective surgery, you won't be able to
do the things you once did??

Well I know a lot of people advise against
researching online, but maybe you should
do some searches to see how common your
current condition is after a c-section.
There might be support groups or online
communities for women who have had
c-sections. Maybe they would be able to
help you further.
At the very least, you might be able to
print out any information you find on this
and bring it with you if/when you're seen
again by a doctor.
I wish I could help you further. This
sounds horrible. I wonder if another
surgery would allow you to do the things
you were doing before - the swimming and
exercising, I mean. But like I said, I
think you should look further into it
before making a decision. And I still
think you should at least speak to a
lawyer that specializes in this sort of
malpractice and see what your legal
options are, if any.
