Hi

I had a pretty traumatic labour experience which ended up with me having an emergency c section.

I’ve been prescribed 6 weeks worth of blood thinning injections and I’ve done about a weeks worth and it’s really effecting my mental health and well-being. I dread the time everyday and it’s also making me wish time away which I know I’ll regret.

Has anyone had blood thinners in tablet form instead? I was thinking of asking to switch and wondered if anyone knew if this was possible.

Otherwise, do you have any tips for someone who has a fear of needles and just medical things in general. I’m incredibly squeamish, especially after the trauma of labour I had.

Many thanks
