In 2013 after having my 2nd child thru c-section, I felt I nearly died with all the medical complications. Prior to labor, I asked my doctor to perform a tubal ligation while doing c-section and signed all paperwork. After my c-section, I asked my doctor and he said he did not perform the tubal because he forgot. A couple months later I went into his office for the Essure and 2 years later, found out I was pregnant with twins!!! My 8 years old was not happy and my husband and I were devastated.
I had made plans to go back to medical school thinking my childbearing days were over. I was at wits end and very fearful of the whole child labor part. I saw a new doctor and he told me I had an unhealthy pregnancy and that I should terminate. He also said the Essure device fell out of my left fallopian. I was stressed and scared for a 2 months. I refused to terminate and wanted second opinion and I did not have insurance. I paid almost $1000 in med bills thru this and after my 3rd month of pregnancy, I miscarried. I bled so much for 8 days and boy was I in a lot of pain.
