well been back to the consultant this morning and I've finally had some sort of diagnosis on my blood condition...
I now have to inject myself with blood thinning medication everyday. My stomach will be covered in bruises as each injection bruises apparently and I have to alternate the injection sites daily.
I have to go to the hospital once a week for a blood test which will carry on until 6 weeks after birth.
The midwife did my first injection for me today and tomorrow I have to do my own... they didn't even give me a fake needle and an orange to have a practice with so god knows what I'll be like tomorrow...I'm dreading it... it hurt like hell when the midwife did it as well.
and this injection also means that my chances of being allowed an epidural during labour are very slim
oh and I also have SPD and if it gets any worse I'll have to wear some sort of support brace but tbh after 3 hours of all the injection shite I just wanted to get of the place so I didn't pay much attention to all that... I'll ask again next week when I go back
feeling pretty miserable at the minute (but at least LO is ok )
