Please be careful

BeccaMarie · October 2011

I just want to beg you girls to please be careful and listen to your body

Carter's funeral was Monday and I felt physically AWFUL afterward. The next morning was worse, so we headed to the hospital and am so glad we did. I have a pulmonary embolism (several blood clots in my lungs) and have been in the hospital since Tuesday am. They think I will be fine.

Clots can happen during pregnancy and delivery. Your care providers will warn you of them, but please, please pay attention to your body.

So glad you got it figured out and listened to your body! And its such good advice-with everyone having their mind on other things post-delivery its important to remember one's on health. I'm still thinking and praying for you and your family as you have now had Carter's service-wishing the best as you heal.

Ugh, I'm so sorry you've had to add scary health problems to everything you've gone through. You are one strong woman to get through this and still be considerate enough to think to warn us, as well. I hope you're on the mend very soon. Keeping you in my prayers!

BeccaMarie, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could just give you a big hug right now for what you are going through with the loss of Carter, your health and your husband's illness. Pulmonary embolisms can be scary (my uncle died of one) and I am so glad that you were able to get care in time and that your prognosis is good.

Also, that you for the warning. If I end up with a c-section, clots were on my list of things to ask about given my family history, but I would not have thought to ask about them otherwise. I am making a note on my birth wish list right now to ask about what I can do to mitigate clots regardless of how I deliver.

Thanks for the PandPTs.

I have been pumping to donate the milk, but now that I have had this happen, I have to be on medicine for 6 months. The medicine is not compatible with donating, so I have to quit and I am pretty sad about it.
