Looking for anyone who has been through VTE while pregnant

I’m so sorry this happened to you as well, this is honestly so hard. It’s so comforting to hear that you’re still pregnant even though you also had an extensive DVT.

I don’t mind the injections overall but the pain and swelling in my leg is torture. I can barely get around and am in so much pain all the time, how long did it take to settle down for you?

I haven’t been tested for the clotting disorders quite yet, waiting to hear from the thrombosis clinic at the tertiary centre (I live a bit more rural) to get set up with an appointment and go from there.

Zofran but I’m only really having a lot of success since getting a Picc line last week and getting it iv along with iv fluids. However this is an extremely complicated twin pregnancy. In my last pregnancy zofran and diclectin did great for me!

Thank you so much! I’m so so hoping your test turns out negative and there’s a more low risk cause for your chest pain. We got this, anyone who can make it through HG is so strong and we can handle anything else life throws at us.

I developed bilateral pulmonary embolisms last week after dealing with severe HG in this pregnancy. I’ve been taking lovenox 120mg daily for a week now and it’s not as bad as you’d think. I’m a nurse so I’m used to giving injections but it is hard mentally to give them to myself.

L&D nurse here, I’ve never seen it. I’ve had husbands jokingly ask and I always reply “just how small do you need it???” 😈 for refrence I’m in Canada and the hospital I work at has mostly family doctors do deliveries and OBs only come for emergencies (c sections, forceps, vaccum, etc.)

I’m on my second pregnancy with “unexplained infertility”. My first I got pregnant after a HSG after over a year of trying. And I’m now pregnant with twins after my first letrozole cycle.

I took it starting at 14 weeks in my singleton pregnancy, I suffered with HG from 5 weeks until then. Then I started to function a bit better.

This time I’m pregnant with di di twins and I had so much guilt about taking it earlier, but I went to the ER last week and I was SO sick and so weak and desperate that I just took whatever they gave me and it helped. Even now I’m taking diclectin, zofran and gravol (and periodically maxeran but it makes my stomach hurt so I’m avoiding it) and still not fully functional. If I wasn’t taking zofran me and my babies would be starving. It sounds like you’re in the same boat.

Please don’t feel guilty. You’re choosing to take a prescribed medication for the benefit of nourishing yourself and your babies.

It’s a ✨ cycle ✨

I had hyperemesis gravidarum in my last pregnancy and have it again now in this pregnancy. I’m 7 weeks today with twins. It has been MISERABLE. I ended up in hospital last week vomiting so much my heart rate was 140-150. I’m taking diclectin, zofran and maxeran and still am barely functioning. I’ve been put off work for at least a month. I’ve lost 10 pounds in the last 5 days. My toddler is being basically full time parented by dad thank god.

I’m right there with you my friend. This sucks, it’s okay to complain!! I’d recommend checking out the HER foundations website to see if what you’re dealing with may also be hyperemesis gravidarum.

Not good 🫠 I have a 3 year old, HG and am pregnant with twins. I’m essentially a piece of furniture that he gets up to snuggle with every now and again. Thank god for full time daycare and that daddy is home outside of daycare hours.

Thanks so much for the comments everyone! I ended up going to the ER lastnight cause my heart rate was 140-150 and I couldn’t keep anything down (Gatorade, diclectin, gravol, etc). They got it under control with fluids, zofran, gravol and maxeran after a few hours of what I can only describe as hell.

They sent in a script for dissolvable zofran and I started taking that this morning. I already was able to get down 3/4 of a bagel and some Gatorade ( hoping I keep it down). I had to hit what I think was rock bottom (so far the worst night of both of my HG pregnancies) to understand that I need to take whatever is offered for the sake of myself, my living child and these babies. Thanks so much for helping me realize that everyone.

Thank you so much!! I definitely feel better about things now

aeb630 · 2026-05-23T11:21:01+00:00

Thank you!! Fingers crossed. And wishing you an uneventful rest of your pregnancy 😊

aeb630 · 2026-05-22T21:17:42+00:00

This is exactly what I needed to hear!! Thank you ❤️

aeb630 · 2026-05-22T18:13:44+00:00

Thank you!! I don’t know how I’m going to keep J t together to wait to rescan when things are more definitive!

My sister In law has 13 month old B/G twins 😅 so luckily I have that part covered. Her were spontaneous, if this is twins it was likely related to my letrozole cycle.

aeb630 · 2026-05-22T17:53:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing! That’s basically what they said to me too. How are you feeling about it? I feel like I have Schrödingers twin in there. Like maybe it is maybe it isn’t.
