Blood Clot / DVT

Hi! Just wondering if anyone has had a blood clot/DVT when heavily pregnant? I'm currently sat in the hospital waiting for a blood thinning injection and have to go for a scan tomorrow but I'm 80% certain I have a blood clot. I'm just worried and wondering what now? What happens if I do have one? Is it just a case of blood thinners or? I'm so scared 😓 x

I been on blood thinners since 28 weeks due to my BMI I hope it all goes well for your

My mate had a blood clot with her first n she just had to inject her stomach everyday n then same thing after for 12 weeks I think it was but she was fine xx

Hope all goes okay for you. I was in and out of hospital over the last week with worries of the same thing, they sent me home with precautionary injections to do myself in my stomach twice daily whilst I waited for a scan. Luckily nothing came back but still scary times. There is a lot they can do now for everything medical, even when pregnant I think you would just need to take regular blood thinners. Try not to worry (I know it’s a lot easier said than done) 🤗

Hey, i had this tonight. Been to hospital and they did bloods and looked and bloods came bk with a concern and gp seems to think so from examination but they cant scan me until tomorrow as i got there after 4pm! Very sore.

What was your result? Hope ur ok x

Hi bethany, I was told exactly the same! No clot and raised bloods but still very sore leg. I also have big babies so probably why. Mine is just one leg (left) not fun! Xx

Yep,😪😪

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

Sleeping

Hi all!
I need some advice my son is 5 months on Tuesday at what age do they sleep in their cot? As he’s still in his bassinet in our bedroom any advice would be fab thank you🫶🏼🫶🏼

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
