I was going to post this in pregnancy but thought maybe I would get more replies here- I am not sure!
I am due to be induced tomorrow for a whole bunch of reasons. The main one being I was diagnosed with a small single blood clot on my lung at 30 weeks and I am on strong dose blood thinning injections so need to come off of them 24 hours before labour begins/ I am admitted.
I was induced with my last baby so not at all anxious about the process as I had a very positive experience thankfully.
I am just very very worried about giving birth with a PE, even when diagnosed I never had the typical symptoms of gasping for breath or anything extremely dramatic just a feeling of air hunger and I would feel tight chested at times which I still get occasionally now that sends me into a bit of a panic.
In my head I am just worrying, catastrophising thinking my body can’t do it, worrying about bleeding more because I am on such a high dose of blood thinners overall just can’t stop worrying about the whole experience. It’s making me not even feel excitement to meet my baby and I hate it.
I am tossing and turning trying to sleep but my brain just won’t allow so I suppose I’m just wondering if anyone else has been through this and can give me a bit of reassurance or just offer a bit of encouragement really🤣
Thanks x
