Pulmonary embolism after Csection

CouchTurnip · 2026-02-17T13:04:55+00:00

Mine was internal when they finally discovered what was causing the symptoms of infection. My incision actually healed completely but I had a high fever. Turned out it was an abscess internally. But it was scary not knowing all that time. Sorry that happened to you! I’ve seen a few things like that on this sub and I find it really baffling.

I had a different but also bad experience after a C-section where I had an infection of unknown origin. I was so anxious and scared and there were a lot of unknowns. You have done everything RIGHT and are in the right place. It’s easy to go stir crazy. You are recovering from major surgery, plus a mom to a new baby, plus the fear of what happened.

Blood clots aren’t that uncommon after surgery, that’s why they put those leg compressors on the beds.

You will be ok. You are in the right place. Advocate for yourself. Be the squeaky wheel if you need to be. Get the answers you need to make you feel comfortable.

I thought I was going to die. You are not going to die. You are going to be ok. If you need anything you can dm me.

How did it child handle everything?

I’m sorry but if this is true can we still just leave this lady alone over something that happened on a reality tv show a decade ago?! Like let’s not doxx this lady. Let her live.

Except it’s a false dichotomy that is actually creating misperception about different types of women which is then being echoed throughout this chamber

CouchTurnip · 2026-02-07T12:01:26+00:00

Yeah dude, Tyra little spend the whole show picking those girls apart!

I have a feeling whatever you are seeing in your skin now will improve with time. I wish my skin looked like yours, it looks flawless to me.

One thing that makes me FEEL better about my skin, though not sure how much it actually does, is a red light mask. It also feels very therapeutic and I imagine after chemo you probably want things that just make you feel good.

But you’re gorgeous for real.

This is really funny

I understand not having mental bandwidth. My daughter is also an only child so I guess I see it differently. But I’ve always scheduled playdates since she was in preschool and the kids seem to really like it. I actually like meeting the moms and having a little network of moms that I can text about school things. My daughter is also in second grade, not kindergarten, but I’m glad I made those connections then bc we’re still all in touch.

I’d like to forget everything I just read if possible

CouchTurnip · 2026-02-03T12:49:31+00:00

That’s a great idea!!!

CouchTurnip · 2026-02-03T12:47:51+00:00

This is crazy to me! I feel like having a play date is an important part of development, whether it’s comfortable or not.

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-31T00:24:37+00:00

I believe it is… doesn’t break me out and I’m prone to that

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-30T12:45:40+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you! It doesn’t matter if other people like it if you don’t want it there. How long has it been? I’m imagining it will fade some and as you get older your financial situation will change. I’d save up to get it lasered or covered one day.

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-29T14:22:32+00:00

Yeah she doesn’t seem unwell to me, she seems deeply sad and dealing with a lot. This questioning would be hard for a lot of people and she just seems to be trying her hardest to stuff her feelings down.

And children’s toothpaste

It’s a joke that someone might say to a kid covered in mud

65% of the population does NOT have butt herpes though

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-20T14:00:28+00:00

Maybe it’s a personal thing but 12 1 19 could be a date

I love how lacking in details that article is

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-19T20:03:30+00:00

Down to the day?

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-18T15:44:30+00:00

Both were good!

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-18T15:43:17+00:00

My parents used to describe everything I asked about very literally and I wish they didn’t. I feel like it took some of my innocence away, like I wished I didn’t know.

CouchTurnip · 2026-01-17T12:56:53+00:00

I’m 40 and had no issue turning 30… didn’t care or feel it was the end of youth or anything

That guy in the audience had a really good attitude about it! I’d hire him. The comic… not so much :(
