28lbs Down. ? Still not able to keep food or fluids down.

i had a massive dvt from my hip to my calf nine months after my second son. im on 33 wks now and have been on lovenox the whole pregnancy but ill be switching to heparin soon for labor! i cant imagine dealing with the dvt during pregnancy, hopefully they can get you some relief soon

I used seabands they worked for me,

Then unisom and vitamin b was my life saver.

??❤️

Poor you, hope you feel better soon!

I also have a pretty large DVT in my leg/pelvis never had it with previous pregnancy and no family history and a tachi heart rate. It's such a nightmare to deal with, I'm 32 weeks and just waiting to hear about an induction date as they don't want to let me go into spontaneous labour ?

@BeYou No not at all. But I’ll mention the tests. I’m not sure what tests they’ve already ran.

Definitely push for those test.

Do you bruise easily?

@Phoe okay thank you!

@BeYou my grandmother had a clogged artery in her neck, but other than that there has been no family history. They found the clot a little over a month ago and at first my leg was so swollen and red that I couldn’t walk. I’m back to where I can walk but the pain had moved lower down my leg. Going back in to see if the clot moved or if I have a new one forming

Tell them to run a pt with inr;aptt; platelet:

Check your factors 2,5 etc.

And your mthfr.

That's so scary and so very serious.

Did anyone in your immediate family deal with dvts or clots?

Yea, mine is like this but blue and I can’t remember the density but it’s super firm

@Phoe like the ones in the workout section? I can usually bend to get them back in but Iv had one out for 4 days and it’s hell ?

Oh no OP I’m so sorry to hear!! I don’t have any helpful info except, I’m familiar with my ribs being thrown out and my foam roller has helped a lot with this.

Iv been monitoring my heart rate every 6hrs and it’s around 120 - 138 all day long even after sitting for 30min.

Sounds like time to go get more fluids ?

@BeYou They found the clot with an ultrasound on my leg, but my Dr is baffled because this is my 3rd pregnancy and iv never had a clot before.

@Bmr I did go to a chiropractor earlier in the pregnancy because I had a pinched sciatic nerve and couldn’t walk. But haven’t tried the others. When I puke it’s so violent that I throw ribs out like 70% of the time.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through so much!!! It sounds like you definitely need the medical treatments being offered but have you considered alternative medicine in addition? Like acupuncture, herbs, chiropractic care, massage therapy, etc? It probably wouldn’t hurt ?

I'm definitely familiar with lovenox.

Do you a confirmed clotting disorder?

Sorry Ihave zero advice for the naesua spells.

That's a huge accomplishment! I could never keep water down. I hope the sickness subsides soon for you.

@Joffree I’ll definitely be trying the copper bracelet then! Thank you! I’ve tried Gatorade and Children’s pedilite, but everything comes up so fast. Iv been having better luck with water today though ??

@BeaYou yes they had me on 80mg lovnox and had to bump it up to 100mg after checking my labs. Twice a day shots to my love handles ?

@Iris I saw some things online about Zofran but I checked with 3 high risk doctors before hand and they all gave me the Ok. Sadly most medications pose some risk or another. Thank you for caring enough to mention it to me though ❤️

FYI: I’ve read negative things about taking Zofran while pregnant.

Do they have you on thinners for the clot?

I had severe nose bleeds with bad clotting as a child. They discovered the copper bracelet and I wore it all the time and didn't have another nosebleed again after wearing it. I don't know how well it works for the issue you're having but it worked in my case. Full warning, your wrist will turn green where it rubs against your skin but it does work! I suppose it's worth a try if your doctor says it's okay. As for the HG, I had it during my twin pregnancy and my doctors told me to consume protein every 3 hours. Obviously eating is a no go but I started drinking Boost drinks and that helped some. Some sort of soda water like La Croix or Perrier with Gatorade ice cubes was my best friend when I had a hard time keep anything down. I started gaining weight finally when I started drinking the Boost drinks. I found out I had GD and eventually switched to a low carb protein drink though. I believe that one was called EAS. I hope that's right. It's been awhile since I had my girls so I can't remember for sure. I hope you start feeling better soon. It sure is rough feeling that way. ?

Unison is otc. Diclegis is just a mix of unisom and vitamin B12. Unisom is also known more commonly as Benadryl.

I was switched to a high risk Dr because of the weight loss and blood clot, and Iv tried everything he has suggested and still no good ?

Has anyone tried the copper bracelets?? I heard they work but it sounds like a novelty to me.

I’d pay anything for this to pass so I’ll mention that medicine to my Dr and see what he says.

Thank you ladies, it’s been rough. I have a 5yr old & 3yr old to look after during all this. Luckily my husband has been a pro and picked up on house work and cooking

I feel you mama. I was always able to at least keep fluids down, but lost a ton of weight with all 3 of my kids.

ETA: zofran didn’t do squat for me but unison helped a little.

This sounds so miserable, so sorry!! I used to suck on frozen watermelon pieces ? and sip mint or ginger tea?

I asked my Dr for Diclegis and she said it was an expensive drug and apparently my insurance wouldn't cover it, but the ingredients are Unisom and Vitamin b6. I bought those two over the counter and they have worked great.

Diclegis also worked for me

Maybe talk with your doctor about diclegis. It works wonders for me personally and worked so much better the zofran. I lost 7 pounds since ive know i was pregnant but with diclegis i can actually keep food and fluids down. I hope feel better!!

Oh wow, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully it eases up soon for you.

You poor thing. I was the same way with both my pregnancies boy and girl.
