7/9/2018 0 Comments What I didn't know hurt me-Getting into Vaginal Steaming: after a horrible miscarriageI am embarrassed to admit I am a woman who knew so little about the female system and how to care for myself properly. After being on this earth for 30 and some odd years, I have finally began my education and am so happy to say that I can not only properly care for myself, but help the community address women's issues from a simple spa treatment. I have two beautiful children that I conceived at a young age and this passed year suffered a miscarriage. I felt like I was in the dark about what to expect. My experience was awful, embarrassing, and emotional.
I went to the doctor for a routine check-up and the doctor couldn't find a heart beat. It was a hard blow to take! My husband I and I were so excited. I told him that I had all the necessary symptoms of pregnancy and didn't have any bleeding, spotting, nothing whatsoever. I was confused. He said that within a few days, my body will show signs. I asked, "Like what?" He said there would be some bleeding and cramping and I just had to let it pass. I took his word for it and just waited and continued to go to work as planned. It wasn't for more than 10 days that IT HAPPENED! Beware! This is graphic. The bloody massacre in my pants. I felt it coming with some cramping, but I was so unprepared with my super ultra pad. I completed my work day in pain and could feel that I was bleeding. It wasn't until I felt my pants get drenched in blood to the point it soaked through my leggings and started to drip to the floor. I quickly made it to my desk where I used my apron in-between my legs to soak up the blood. I went to the bathroom where I spent the next hour at work bleeding pregnancy matter and having MAJOR cramps which later I found out were contractions. Finally, with one small opening in time, I wrapped myself in an extra pareo from work and left. Thanks to my hero of the year who loaned me her extra panties from her workout bag. What I didn't know hurt me! Hours and hours of contractions and bleeding happened for about 9 hours. I called the doctor and they said to come in if there was prolonged heavy bleeding. But they couldn't describe what is heavy....They were not helpful in guiding me. I was furious they didn't explain how awful and emotional this would be. I was emotional I lost the pregnancy, but more than that, I had to come down off the pregnancy hormones that come with being pregnant. I believe I had some depression as my hormones continued to fluctuate. Why didn't anyone tell me how terrible their experiences were? We women tell our birth stories, but not this....Is it taboo because it's a lost baby? I want to hug tight all the women who have gone through this. I am so sorry for your loss and experience. I called Keli from Steamy Chick and she gave me beautiful guidance. She was tender, kind, and very informative. She helped me more than any OBGYN did. I began to steam and rid myself of all pregnancy matter and began to regulate my menstrual cycle. I don't believe I have fully recovered yet, but I know that I'm on the right track. I have gone through her Vaginal Steam Facilitator course and continue to take more and more courses to be able to successfully help women with the many female issues we think are normal. It's time to take the health of our body into our own hands.
