blood clots

[ilovesprouts]

my dd is in hosp they found out she has blood clots on her lungs the doc told her they could of been fatal shes just had a baby 6 weeks ago just wonderd if anyones had anything the same shes only 20.

I'm sorry :( I hope she gets better soon.

Your poor dd, i imagine she is quite anxious, as are you

I was treated for blood clots on my lungs when I was 27, completely out of the blue, no pregnancy/ flight or anything.

Treatment is quite lengthy, I was on blood thinners for 6 months and had to wear compression stockings. I had to inject myself with frag in for the first few days and then had warfarin tablets for the rest of the time, I think your FDA treatment will depend on whether she is breast feeding?

After the six months was up I had blood tests to determine what had caused the clots.

My clots happened nearly 4 years ago and although it was very scary I am now living my life to the full.

All the best to your dd and you

Stupid iPod

no shes bottle feeding ,she tryed to see the doc but the receptionist says to her you just had a baby take painkillers , and would not make her an oppintment ,so got no better so took her self to a&e

I had DVT and PE after having my son and it wasn't diagnosed for 6 weeks. I had Clexane injections at first and then moved to Warfarin for 8ish months. This involved weekly and then fortnightly bloodstests at a special clinics.

I had DVT up my entire leg and still have pain (DS is 6). Travel insurance is a pain. Other than that I feel back to normal.

The main thing is that they are aware there is a problem and can start treatment. Hope she feels better soon.
