Re: UD with intrauterine growth restriction (preg/child ment) to Jen

[Guest guest]

Jen-

I completely agree ... I had retained placenta AFTER A CESAREAN!! Talk about

weird! Luckily I passed it 4 days post partum and did not require surgery

but I think that having it in my body delayed my milk coming in ... I didn't

even have colostrum till day 5 and then got only 1 ml per 15m pumping w/a

hospital grade pump. My milk didn't come in fully for 7 days. The placental

tissue

I had retained was the size of my palm! How the heck did they miss it??

Best wishes with your pg!!

's point about the placenta developing differently is something I

important in my case. I had a vag. birth but a retained placenta. IUGR

wasn't diagnosed

" officially " but the placenta had to be removed surgically after my

daughter's birth. This

was traumatic at the time but I had no side effects or issues afterwards.
