Pulmonary Embolisms

[FirstTimeMum072025]

Did anyone else suffer PE’s after childbirth? I was diagnosed with small volume bilateral PE’s 2 weeks post partum and I’m struggling with the worry that I’ll get another in future. I’m 11 weeks post partum and had a traumatic forceps delivery and just struggling to process everything.

Just hoping to hear from others on how you coped and moved on after having something serious like a PE.

Hi, i experienced a PE during my pregnancy with next to no symptoms which surprised me. After a course of blood thinners for about 10 weeks post delivery it was pretty much back to normal with no need to continue medication. I will wear compression socks and use blood thinners before a long haul flight as a precaution though But day to day i dont think about it.
