So, I was diagnosed with a massive DVT when I was 4+5 and am now on Clexane injections twice a day. I was referred to the ante-natal consultant to discuss birth etc and have been told that a) no home birth (kind of accepted that one, reluctantly) b) no water birth c) no going overdue to induction needed if late (first baby so likely!) d) hospital as soon as labour starts so may be in for a couple of days.
Also, if I've had a Clexane injection within 24 hours I can't have an epidural, and if a c-section is needed I'll have to have a general and be asleep.
Am I justified to be feeling sad about this? I really want a water birth, hoped to stay at home as long as possible, definitely not be asleep when our beautiful girl arrives! Feeling a bit upset
