Postpartum scare!

Tamara

2 weeks after a traumatic c section I woke up early one morning with severe back neck and shoulder pain. Not to mention the crazy night sweats and foul smelling brown blood that I was having I just thought it was normal and that maybe I slept wrong. I started taking meds for muscle pain but then over the next day or so the pain was much worse and had moved to the other side and I was having trouble breathing because it hurt so bad to take a deep breath. I ended up calling my doctor and they instructed me to go to the ER. They were thinking that I maybe had an infection from c section that was possibly causing respiratory issues. I’m so glad I went because I almost didn’t. Turns out I had small blood clots on each lung. (Pulmonary Embolism) that if not detected as soon as it was could have been fatal. I ended up being admitted and staying 2 days in the hospital but I’m yet again so grateful to GOD because just 2 weeks prior I almost didn’t make it giving birth BUT GOD ❣️ I’m feeling much better but having to treat myself with injections for 6 months to help with the clots and still be able to breastfeed. Ladies please don’t ignore your body and it’s signals especially after giving birth. Seek help immediately and take care of yourself. Inspire of it all I’m still here and so blessed to be here with my family. Stay safe and God Bless☝🏾🙏🏾❤️
