One For The Girls, Anyone Had Their Period During Surgery?

I was on my period during surgery. They made me take everything off except a hospital gown. They did lay some kind of thing underneath me, but still no pad or panties. It was not fun.

I had Gallbladder Surgery while on my period, but no one knew (except when I told them) because I use a menstrual cup from Meluna and with such light periods I don't have to dump it as often I maybe dumped it twice while I was there.

Trust me no one will be bothered by this. I work L&D so I used to this but my surgery friends call us at times for pads and things. It's all business to them.

I didn't gave it during surgery but it started very unexpectedly 2 days post op. I hear this is very common, so even if you're not due for it I would throw some pads/tampons in your hospital bag just in case
