Blood clots and pregnancy don’t mix

We had gone camping with my mom and dad up towards Mt. St. Helens and my inner thigh became sensitive and sore. After it became swollen and more pink, calls to drs, two different  ultrasounds, I was finally diagnosed with a blood clot that was 1 cm from my femoral artery. I had some superficial ones down stream from that which were the swollen ones that hurt, but I had to start two daily injections in my belly of a blood thinner, Lovenox. I hate needles and over a week later I still haven’t brought myself to give my own injection .  Luckily my dr husband does for me and  does it without bruising me. It doesn’t hurt as bad, I just can’t seem to do it yet. I was told to remain on these injections until 6 weeks postpartum so it will be a lengthy amount of time. The swelling has gone down and I am much more comfortable. I am grateful that Garrett reminded me to push the issue and make it urgent to figure out what was going on. This could have turned into a bigger problem for sure. I felt the Lords hand in using other to push me to go get the help I needed!
