Smile pregnancy

Welcome RM and congrats on the soon to be new arrival!

My TOS is caused by cervie ribs and with both my children, I experienced a lot of vomiting. Particularly within 24 hrs of delivery. post-delivery I had severe weakness, vomiting, chills/hotness, and the classic 'lump' just above my clavicle. at the time I wasn't aware of what was causing my symptoms. My Dr thought it was cancer, a cancer specialist ruled that out but never gave me a definitive answer. Another Dr claimed it was 'cat scratch feever' (I worked in a metal shop with rusty impliments and was cut often). They made me stay home from work for 6 weeks. It eventually resolved itself.

Avoid lifting baby (or anything) too far away from your body. Since you know you have TOS, you can start to modify your movements NOW without the trial and error we all went thru. Read on... others will post soon with great ideas for you.

Anne
