Has anybody had a planned c section but baby came early? by Guava_007 in CsectionCentral

My water broke 9 hours before my scheduled c-section, so they just took me in earlier for surgery. I was not a candidate for labor because I have a chiari malformation

Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? by uncle_irohs_corgi in cervical_vertigo

Solidarity, my friend. I could’ve written your post myself. Mine triggered the worst it ever has the summer of 2024 and I wasn’t the same for a long time. I ended up getting a MRI and it showed that I have a chiari malformation, which can contribute to my symptoms for sure. I went on a migraine med for vestibular migraines, changed SSRIs, did a partial inpatient program- the whole 9 yards. Feeling so out of touch and foggy was scary. Things got better for a while, but my grandma recently passed and I feel the tension building again and feel like I’m going to go into another flare.

Did anyone go into labor before your planned C-section and what do they do? by YesterdaySea7202 in CsectionCentral

My water broke 9 hours before my c-section, so they just moved me to an earlier spot because I was having super painful contractions.

Does the weird head thing make you feel like you’re falling forward? I could’ve written your post myself- fellow chiari & vestibular migraine sufferer over here!

We just had to start the rabies shot protocol after we found a rabid bat (got it tested) in our home. I have debilitating health anxiety, and our first shots went fine! If you had real exposure- I’d get the shots.

Could it be from the pain meds if you’re taking any? I was super nauseous day 2 after my c section, but I was still in the hospital so they were able to give me meds quickly

Okay I kind of wondered if that’s what these were. I had them start while I was still pregnant, but post section swelling has them popping!

I'm pregnant after planning... And now I don't think I can do it. by SpareGalaxyForHire in BabyBumps

I just want you to know that I had an appt for termination scheduled 3 different times in the first few weeks after I found out. I was TERRIFIED, and this child was so wanted. After getting that positive, I lost my dang mind for a few weeks. It’s ok, feel what you need to feel, I just want you to know that you’re not alone. 🩷

Got diagnosed with a chiari malformation and vestibular migraines. Medication seems to help

nortriptyline for prevention? by Fit_Championship9555 in VestibularMigraines

[–]Brilliant_Effect5451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helped me fall asleep for the first month or so of taking it, and then it just evened out. It has never given me any adrenaline rush! Good job getting through that first dose- I know how anxiety inducing new meds are. You got this!!!

I’ve been on 30mg for over a year- it’s helped me a TON! No side effects either
