First of all sorry for long post.
Day six after having my little girl via ELCS, she is perfect and I'm chuffed but I wish anxiety let me enjoy it more. I had a high risk pregnancy due to huge fibroids, Raynaud syndrome, arthritis, 39 years old - factors I never considered to be a real risk before getting pregnant but there you go - big high risk sticker on my files and thousands of appointments.
I was extremely anxious about PPH as I was told it was likely to happen for me by every single midwife and consultant I saw, I lost 1.2 litres which is nothing dramatic so happy with that. Now that that risk is gone, the fear of blood clots is taking over. Again I was told I'm high risk due to age and Raynaud's so I was given tinzaparin from week 28 (and have 6 more weeks of it) and I'm as active as I can. Still can't help but symptom spotting and can't tell what's a real symptom anymore (am I out of breath? Is this a leg cramp? You get it...) this is ruining my first days with my DD :(
I don't have many friends in England so I find myself compulsively googling every concern... mistake! Any calming words would be much appreciated x
