Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Abdominal pain, Body temperature increased, Discomfort, Exposure during pregnancy, Haemorrhage in pregnancy
Clinical narrative: I had no issues with my pregnancy and was given the green light before my craniotomy and after. There were no issues while I was in the hospital, nor for 2 weeks after I was released. I got my 2nd Covid vaccine in my upper left arm (same as previous) and within an hour I was bleeding bright red out of my vagina. I went to my OB and they released me with bed rest. I spent the rest of the day laying on the couch with the worst abdominal pain I had ever felt. I was in and out of sleep during the day to alleviate the pain and my rising temperature. I tried to go to bed around 7PM so I wouldn't feel anymore pain--couldn't get comfortable and went to pee. After I came back to the bed, I immediately got up to pee again and my water broke on the floor. I managed to make my way to the bathroom across the apartment, squeezing my legs shut and dropping blood along the way. At one point I lost consciousness while on the toilet and looked around. My placenta was on the floor, and my baby ( just into her 2nd trimester) was hanging out of me into the toilet. My husband called an ambulance that got there in 2 minutes and by 8:40 I was on the way to the hospital... 12 hours exactly from when I got my shot to when I lost my 1st child. I'll never forgive nor forget Moderna, and the way this vaccine has been treated since its existence. There has been very little transparency and even LESS advisement for pregnant women to NOT take this vaccine when they're already getting others.
