Dvt Mummas
Hello everyone
I am 37 weeks pregnant, diagnosed with a DVT at 9 weeks after an ankle sprain (didn’t know I was pregnant at the time). Had a very disheartening meeting with my consultant today who is pushing for a scheduled c section at 39 weeks. Baby is ok, I’m on treatment dose of tinzaparin. I had an induction and emergency c section with my first which ended up giving me PTSD and PPD. I don’t want to repeat the experience. I was hoping they would switch me to preventative dose and let me go into spontaneous labour, anyone had a similar experience? Baby is absolutely fine and doing very well. Clot has disappeared and didn’t leave any residues.
