Hey ladies,
On May 27th I blacked out while driving on a highway. I was able to pull over before things got real bad. Long story short, the hospital wanted to do a CAT Scan with iodine contrast dye to see if I had a clot in my lungs. I think I was around 34 weeks. Anyway I tried to refuse for 5 hours, but my mom and husband insisted because they didnt want me to "die". Of course it came back negative and I have been living in regret ever since.
My doctor keeps telling me to stop worrying about it "because there is nothing I can do about it now". But refused to answer this question:
Why do all the websites say that you need to wait 48 hours to resume breast feeding after having contrast dye? If that is the case, then what are the effects of the dye (which crosses the placenta) on my baby going to be? I am so worried about this and I can't get an answer.
At best, I was wondering if any of you girls knew someone who this happened to and could tell me a positive outcome. I am worried sick still and no one wants to hear me talk about it anymore :(
I'm never going to let anyone talk me into something that I am uncomfortable with EVER AGAIN!
