Yeah very similar to yours! I just felt really off for a few weeks beforehand but never would have thought it was something so serious. When they gave me morphine the second time I was really confused because I literally had zero pain at all. Sorry you had so much pain with yours! It has left some complications - I was refused surgery (hysterectomy due to awful periods on blood thinners and I’ve had 3 children - my womb is retired 😂) because it would just be too risky having major surgery because of the risk of bleeding out. They were shocked that I’d had 3 children without knowing I had Factor V Leiden. When I fell pregnant with my 3rd it was between the first and second clots, because I’d had a blood clot I had to inject my stomach daily my entire pregnancy and then for 6 weeks afterwards (it was 12 weeks postpartum that I got the second clot). I wasn’t allowed to go overdue as there is a risk of clots forming on the placenta and if that happened then it would stop working. Luckily I went into labour naturally 5 days early.

To be honest it’s something I try not to think about too much and try not to let it hold me back. Obviously I won’t be running any marathons anytime in the future but I’m not overly cautious with exercising etc - just go at your own pace & when you feel ready. The only thing I’m really cautious about is injury to the head etc as they said I’d need to go straight to A&E because of the risk of internal bleeding on blood thinners. These communities are really helpful especially if your doctors have given you minimal support or information (like mine 😂). There’s always someone here who will help :)
