There is a physical reason for my headaches this week. I have a blood clot on my brain. Mine is called "sagittal sinus dural venous thrombosis." The doctors I am working with have never seen it before. I will be getting blood thinners every 12 hours and pain killers for the headaches. I will get out of the hospital when my pain is manageable at home. I will need lots of help though because I will most likely be on narcotics for a few weeks. I am also expecting to be on blood thinners throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Yep, we are expecting #4, which is part of why I developed the clot. We are excited to complete our family. We had an ultrasound yesterday and our little bean looked good. Here's hoping for a fast recovery!
