Serena is extremely fortunate that she recognised the symptoms and was still in hospital. When you are on blood thinners you have to be very careful not to cut or scratch yourself because of bleeding. The amount of blood Serena must have lost must have been horrific. I know a guy who got clots, one of which moved 3 months after surgery. He got short of breath but thought it was because he had run across a road. He almost died. Ambos worked on him for quite awhile before they transported him to hospital. The clot that moved went up into his lung and the vein into his heart. He is normally a bleeder if he even scratches himself so you can imagine how petrified everybody was when he had to have thinners to dissolve the clots. A few minutes before he had been driving, and a few minutes later he would have been driving again.

That must have been scary ! Glad she recovered well in the end.
My mum had lung embolism and blood clots and so they were extremely careful with me when I delivered my babies.

She had a terrible time. It’s reassuring for us ‘normal’ mums that these things happen to even the richest of the rich. Pregnancy and birth is such an evener.

Oh my! What a scare!! So many terrible things that happened to her. Luckily she recovered. She has such a wonderful daughter.
No special problem for me, just the coccyx a little inflamed, so I had some difficulties sitting and standing up. Nothing really bad.

Wow! Very scary! She’s so tough you don’t think things like this could happen to her. Very lucky gitl that she had such amazing medical care!
