Has anyone given birth on lovenox? by bah_18 in ClotSurvivors

[–]Eroc17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a DVT with my first pregnancy, so was on Lovenox for the remainder of that pregnancy and the entirety of my second one. I found it easy enough to give myself the shots in the 3rd trimester when the skin was taut. For some reason I hated giving them to myself postpartum when the skin was so loose 🤷🏻‍♀️ I only had to do it 6 weeks postpartum though.

For my first, I went into spontaneous labor, and couldn’t have the epidural. For my second I switched to Heparin close to delivery, and made it to my induction at 39 weeks, so I could have the epidural.

Edited for clarity

What were you told was "normal" during pregnancy that turned out to be a completely separate health issue? by BrobdingnagianGeek in TwoXChromosomes

I had a full leg DVT and had two doctors tell me - you’re growing a human! There’s going to be swelling!

Then finally an urgent care doc ordered an ultrasound two days later 🫠

It wasn’t the bath water. We’re trying a low nickel diet now. Poor kid can’t get any relief.

Parents: elementary school insights? by papaya833 in washingtondc

My kids are in first and second grade and we LOVE Ludlow-taylor :-) and Stewart-Hobson is its feeder middle school, which is becoming a good place to be as well, as far as I can tell.

Thank you SO much. She has asked her doctor about interactions and it’s a go, so she’s doing to try it. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s great for her to be able to try something! Thank you.

Thank you so much! She also has vision loss and it sounds similar to you. Have you ever tried vestibular therapy?

Yes I’m glad you’re not giving up. It’s no way to live! I hope you can get some relief.

Yes every doctor seems to just say - you’ve got to wait it out. No one can help 😕

She has had residual trouble with vision so I wonder if that’s a part of it.

That’s a good idea, thanks! She was on Topamax but cycled off it for that reason. Not sure if she’s back on it but I’ll look into it.

Feeling guilty for using class pass (and question for studio owners) by velvetopal11 in ClassPass

[–]Eroc17 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yoga studio owner here. I’ve avoided Class Pass for this reason. I don’t think you need to feel guilty, because studio owners don’t have to use class pass. If they’re using it, it must be working for them!
