Everything went beautifully! We didn't have enough time to get the lovenox out of my system, so my pain relief choices were limited but it didn't interfere with the birth in any other way. The hospital allowed me total movement during labor, and delivery was actually easier than with my first...

We are scheduled to be at the Hospital at 7 am Saturday the 28th. I will take my last lovenox injection around 5 am before I leave the house for the trip to Duke. At the hospital I will be hooked to an IV and placed on LMWH Heparin for 24 hours before the induction begins. Once the induction...

Double post..

Hey! I would love to share more of my story. I had my AVR in September 2010 at 24 years old. It was a difficult decision to get a mechanical valve, but I decided that I already had one miracle child and I wanted the best chances of staying with him. I knew it meant no more children and I...

I knew all my life I was going to have a surgery and it affected much of my life until I made the choice not to let it. Now 2 years post-op I feel better than I have ever felt and I am grateful for that!

Just want to let you know I am thinking of you Jo!

I read the post regarding a man, but have any woman had that side effect. I ask because on my spring break I got out of my routine and missing 2 doses in 3 days. I was actually interested in romance. I am never interested in romance. I can and do perform, but until I am warmed up I have no...

I am 26 years old. I was told I would never have children, but God blessed me with a beautiful boy. A year and a half ago I choose the mechanical valve when it was time to have my surgery. I felt that since I already have been blessed with one child, that it would be foolish for me to put that...

Great! Its nice to hear how well you are doing!!

I found that four weeks was a magic number for me. I felt horrible at three, and the day week four hit, I had amazing energy. 4 weeks and 1 day it continued. at five weeks, I thought to myself, wow I have been feeling good for a while now. Hang in there

I am glad things are looking up!!

Forgot to add.... He also told me to increase fluids and drink Gatorade especially when getting dizzy, due to the sodium. I try to drink 8 ounces of Gatorade a day.

I had a very similar issue. Mine was caused by low BP. My doctor told me to keep from squatting, try not to bend, and to make friends with the salt shaker. GL!

That reminds me I need to get my iron levels checked as well. I hope though you get plenty of sunshine!

check out the ACT board. maybe they will have a good answer

Relax, after all you'll be asleep the whole time and won't remember a thing. Honestly though, that is what got me through it. Once I realized it was 100% out of my hands, I was much better with it. G was a nervous wreck though. The last thing I remember is gargling some antiseptic mouthwash...

Duke re-ran several of my tests as well. My surgeon explained to me that it was important to have the most accurate information as possible close to the date. I had a second CT, within 6 months of my first. Had a very lengthy thorough Echo done.

Yikes! Got my antibiotics, and will be going in for an INR testing monday. Will keep the cardiologist informed.

I lied. Not the flu, but strep.

Its the Flu. Wonderful. Supposed to see the doctor in the morning. Hoping it doesn't get worse
