LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Blood clot @ 36 weeks

A

Hey ladies... just wanted to share my story and to tell you to always always always trust your body & gut. So Saturday i was exactly 36 weeks and started to get painful swelling in my left leg as well as purple discolouration. I went to the hospital and they took an ultrasound of my leg to check for a blood clot. Ultrasound came back negative and they sent me home. Well the next 2 days I suffered from more excruciating pain in my leg and swelling to the point I can barely walk and up all night in pain. I came back to the hospital again today and they redid the ultrasound. Sure enough I do have a blood clot after all!!! I’m so angry it was missed two days ago but relieved that I did trust my intuition and come back. I’m supposed to see my OB in 2 days and almost tried to suck up the pain until then. So just always trust your gut, listen to your body and don’t feel stupid to get a second opinion. I’m just so thankful I did and am starting on blood thinners to prevent the worse.
