DVT 😣

What condition do you have? Sorry you've had a hard pregnancy I have also.

Awful about the blood clot sorry to hear and your birthing options being narrowed down for you.

Hope everyone's happy and healthy in the end xx

Just be strong darling, if that will be safe for you and baby I will say go for it.

Hey hun I’m severely hyper mobile so I over extend everything and with the pregnancy hormones rushing through my body has relaxed everything even more, I had no choice but to be signed off from work 2 months before maternity leave started 😣 the weight I’ve gained too in the last trimester hasn’t helped at all with blood clot which they also made mention of today, which that is also getting me down,. No matter how healthy I eat I cannot stop the weight from going on! I honestly cannot wait to get him here now . Sorry to hear you haven’t had a very nice experience too lovely and thank you for commenting xx

Oh dear sounds like you've been through it your approaching the end and hopefully the injections aren't that strenuous. Hope it'll all work out well. Thsnk you xx

You’re not alone I got diagnosed with pulmonary embolism.. blood clot on my lung. Also on blood thinners until and after birth and with previous history of PPH I’m bricking it. Just concentrating on the end result which will be holding my little boy, here if you need a chat

what symptoms did u have for this if u don’t mind me asking x

it’s okay was a bit random to be honest. Was just having a normal day and I got some chest pain when I was breathing, felt almost like pulled muscle pain but every time I breathed … hr was also pretty high on my Apple Watch when I was just sat down. Went to A&E and they did bloods which came up sketchy. Got cleared for DVT so had another scan on my lungs which showed the clot…. 6 days to diagnose but they put me on blood thinners from when I went to A&E “just incase”

ok amazing. Thanks for that. I have been experiencing a bit of chest / sternum pain. (Also tender
To touch /press) and had the pain come in waves. Only way I can describe it. Not enough to stop me in my tracks but enough to notice it. Happens a few times a day been a couple
Of weeks now x

am glad they picked it up for you and ur being treated ❤️

if I’m honest I felt like I was being over dramatic so many times over those 6 days so my advice is get any chest pain checked… for your own peace of mind more than anything as well x

thanks hon. I’m at the day assessment tomorrow for my
Blood pressure check so I will mention it to the midwife then

So sorry to hear this. Having a DVT alone is scary. I had one after a long haul flight a few years ago and had to stay longer to get the drugs to work and start minimising it before flying back. I saw a video ultrasound of my clots twice (when diagnosed and before flying) and the meds really do work. You’re def doing the safest thing possible, it’s just the higher level thinners mean they have to take precautions. If you have no reason to anticipate a c-section you still have a good chance of not having one. I’m on weaker thinners due to my past DVT and I’m being treated as low risk. I’ve been doing a hypnobirthing course and that can help all kinds of labour. The science shows it can impact a lot of aspects as you’re trying to aid the hormones you naturally produce that are needed for birth so if you haven’t already it could be worth a look into and give you something to try that could give you a chance to impact needing a c-section or epidural. Have everything crossed for you!
