I came out of hospital on Thursday evening after being diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolisms. I am 12 weeks pregnant and also have type 2 diabetes. I have not been given any information on what I need to do now apart from fragmin injections twice a day. I am still in pain and paranoid about every ache or twinge that I get in my arms or legs. I haven't been told if I need to rest or if I can resume normal activities (to be honest I still feel rough and very very tired anyway). I don't know if the pain in my chest, shoulder and arm and the cough I've developed is normal or if I should be worried. They just kind of threw me out of the hospital without any aftercare advice or anything. I am a bit by it all. Surely they should have given me some basic guidelines to follow. Fortunately my fabulous antenatal consultant has called as soon as he received my discharge notes saying he wants to see me on Tuesday. I really feel like complaining but not sure it's worth it as the care I received while in hospital was great. AIBU to have expected them to at least given me some aftercare advice.
