1 yr post op and 5 weeks preg

[Guest guest]

I just found out that I am 5 weeks preg! I am so excited, this is

our first baby. We were ttc for only 2 months!

I am a little worried though. First off, I did post earlier about

having a prior pulmonary embolism. And that's how I found out I was

pg. I went to the ER on Thu night feeling like I wasn't getting

enough air. I decided to check it out in case it was the pe. Well,

it wasn't but the doc did give me a chest x ray and then afterwards

told me I was pg. So.....what does this mean? He said I was really

early along and that I should be fine. But he couldn't explain the

heaviness in the chest which went away by itself.

Tonight I was watchin a movie w/my hubby and just sitting on the

couch, my heart began to beat very fast. It eventually slowed to a

normal rate. Has this happened to anyone? I go see a high risk

ob/gyn on Tue. Will I immediately be put on blood thinners?

Thanks!
