[flexilexi394]

shite bidsy, well is your life in danger? i think if you need one then have one, what are the risks involved?? x

 

[vixxie77]

Oh no! I agree with flexi. Hope all is ok hun x x

 

[xshauna_bazx]

[Elfs Mummy]

You need to way out the pros and cons hun, but if your lifes in danger then you need to have it done xxx

 

[frankie707]

Have they explained it all to you properly? I know it must be a tough decision and very scary for you but you need to look after yourself.

 

[rainbow dancer]

i agree with the other girls id say go for a scan but its up to you hun, i hopeyou and baby are ok xx

 

[Rebecca27]

What a horrible situation to be in, hope your ok xx

 

[NatEvz]

Sounds pretty serious to me hun, hubby had a massive PE at christmas and needed the scan to make sure the clot was in a place where it wasnt likely to migrate immediately and so they could commence warfarin therapy. Have they told you what risks are involved with the scan?Thoughts are with you xxx

 

[JJ Mum]

Oh blimey , I agree hun , this could affect your life seriously - then you have to do it, Your baby cannot live without you X

Do ask them again exactly how it could harm baby , they should explain more so you are fully informed. You rest up and take care of yourself.

PM Amanda , she had this a couple of years ago, so would be a gret help to you

Sending you a big hug

Okay for one hun try and stay calm.I had a blood clot on my lung when i was 18 they kept me in for 6 days.I had to take medication and have my bloods taken regulauly and because i had this iam being kept a close eye on hense the injections i have to take soon.

ask them again exactly how it could harm baby , they should explain more so you are fully informed.

I would reckomend anything they say to you such as a scan hun just remmber to tell them how far you are in your pregnancy if you need a chat or anything just pm me hun.Make sure you stay calm and listen to everything they say.And esp rest

my friend had a brain hemmorage a few months ago while pregnant and needed cat scans, she was to wear a lead suit type thing to keep danger to a minimum for baby and she had to have a few but baby was born 2 weeks ago healthy as can be. There are precations they can take if the baby is in danger hun x Good luck

Hello girls, thank you so much for your responses, It ended up radiologist said no to the scan and I had a diff kind of scan with less radiation in it and it came back clear, I am so relieved, I am home now but still have the pain so have to see my chrones specialist and an obstetrician. Just a process of elimination, I just feel drained now because i was told to make the desicion about the cat scan and we agreed to it only to get there for them to say i wasnt having it although I am pleased I didnt have to I just wish theyd have told me I could have the alternative. 3 times while I was in hosp I was told it could be fatal so we have been worried sick. I just want to be better and look forward to my baby, I was told the other week I may need a emegency C section as I had abnormal cells a few years ago which i was treated for so theres a possibility I may not dilate prop for the scar tissue. Its turning into a nightmare. All I want to do is look forward to everything xx

 

[soozy]

Oh hun im glad you didnt need the cat scan. The doctors know best. just know we are all thinking of you x
Hope everything goes ok and try to rest as much as possible x
