I loved the article!
To add to why I loved the article is because this happened to me verbatim 7months ago when I had my son. It happened with my older daughter and I mentioned it to the staff before they released me. Not even 24 hours after, I was in the ER. The patient band still on my arm and on my baby. It was horrible! The staff, in my opinion, did not treat it with a since of urgency or as something potentially fatal. Thank you for sharing your story and bringing awareness to this “uncommon” issue. I have already shared your story and mine with two women about to go on maternity leave. God bless you and your family.
I am so glad you found me!!
