A woman whose husband had abandoned for childlessness discovers decades later that a complication during a medical procedure caused it.
The woman had married at the age of 22.
She and her husband wanted a house full of kids, so she took in within a month.
The child didn’t make it as she miscarried.
She went through a procedure, after which the doctor told her all is fine and she could try getting pregnant again.
After attempts for years, no pregnancy was coming forth.
The in-laws made comments, her husband became distant.
Eventually he left her for another lady, claiming he wanted a real family.
Within a year he gave birth to two babies.
She concluded that her body her betrayed her.
Sometime in her late 50s, a new medical transparancy law made it easier to request old hospital files.
When she applied for hers, she found a note regarding that particular miscarriage.
It read:
“Complication during procedure.
Urine perforation.
Significant scarring”
No one had explained it, no follow-up, no honesty and referral.
She had spent decades blaming herself for something that happened to her.
“Some women are told their bodies f@iled them.
Sometimes the truth is, someone else did“, @xevekiah who shared the story on X had added.
X-users have shared opinions on the matter:
@amh_x26 Omg this sc@res me so much 😭 currently recovering from a ‘minor uterine perforation’ – no follow up since I left just been told I will be contacted for a 6wk 3D scan appointment and another surgery after 3month from the initial f@iled surgery date.
@euphemey She didn’t f@il…she was f@iled and that’s the part people don’t want to admit.
@elyshianone Imagine carrying gu!lt for 3o years for something that wasn’t your f@ult…that’s heart br3aking.
