[quote=Anonymous]Don't stop listening to your body after leaving the hospital. The early weeks postpartum have their own risks, and it's so easy to write off symptoms when you're distracted by a newborn. There was no sign anything was wrong with me until 2 weeks after birth, when a postpartum blood clot cut off circulation to my gut. Even then I thought the cramping and nausea were from a virus or food poisoning. And on the clotting subject, make sure your OB knows about any personal or family history of blood clots or strokes. There are risk management guidelines that lay out which patients should be put on anticoagulant therapy as a precaution both before and after the birth. If you end up with a C-section, ask in the hospital if that now puts you into a category that is recommended to get postpartum anticoagulation.[/quote]
