stroke after having a baby

I want to know if anyone has gotten pregnant after a stroke and how it went for you? Oh and after my stroke all I think about most of the time is of the stroke, having another stroke, or dying due to a stroke. I guess I am traumatized now. Does anyone else suffer from this?

Hello~Dogs, like people, can have changes after a stroke and personality changes is one of the changes. Sometimes, this will pass in a few months, in the meantime, just keep loving her.

Hi, I had a small stroke a week ago today. I had some speech problems and problems with my left side but now every thing is good. I immediately got up and tried to function normally but my hubby could tell that something was wrong. I have passed out twice since then so I don't know if that was related to my stroke. I am 50 years old so. . . . Thanks and I appreciate your response !

Yesterday I had bad frontal headache. Along with this my left eye had the feeling of a slight eye allergy/puffiness. Today the headache is mostly gone except for a little on my left. However the eye situation is a little worse. There's a tad bit of a tingle/numbness from left eye, through my left cheek bone, down to my left side jaw. Could this be signs of some kind of stroke? Or is it more the signs of some allergy?

To anyone with muscle spasms after a stroke, I found that the only thing that worked was Botox injections. I had severe 24/7 clenching of my foot which occurred 5 years after my stroke. The doctor said that it was spasticity caused by my stroke. No medications helped. PT didn't help. The Botox was an absolute God send.

I do not know your stroke risk factors, but your symptoms are atypical for stroke as it does not fit a typical distribution, however it does not necessarily mean you didn't have a stroke. If the stroke is very small, it may not show up on a CT scan. In these cases, an MRI is usually better. The episode of Left facial numbness is the most worrisome of the episodes.

I have 2 babies , I had Stoke symptoms with both but my last one was worse . I'm pregnant now , only like 4 weeks , and I'm already getting stroke symptoms. I'm not for an abortion but if it means loosing my life will my doctor let me terminate , I can be on birth control because I get the same symptoms. My left side goes numb an I can see out of my eye an I get a migraine like no other .

Here is the question. A couple of years ago I had a non-hemaragic stroke. For a while I had no use of my left and could not even remember ever using it. To make thinks short. The physical part finaly went away completly after about 2 months. All strength came back. What I was left with is sever depression and jumbled thoughts. I felt like my entire personality had changed. I have been a traume nurse for over 15years and found it next to impossable to do my job.

My boyfriend is only 35 and he had a stroke recently. We think it's because he was a heavy smoker, so he's just quit smoking and drinking cold turkey. Since then, he has not been sexual at all, this is not like him at all. He is tired a lot which is understandable, but i am wondering if any of these things could have caused him to lose his sex drive? People say their sex drive is increased after quitting smoking, so could it be the stroke? Will it get better?

My mother had a stroke a year ago. She developed a problem with her skin itching. She also feels unusual hot and cold sensations. She is 89 years old. So far no doctor has been able to help her and it is starting to depress her. I am looking for a solution for her.

Could you tell me exactly what symptoms you had? My doctor seems to think it wasn't a stroke. He said nothing of a TIA, so now I am confused of what exactly happened to me that day. They did a CT scan of the brain (this came back normal), then they did an MRI of the brain and this came back clear as well. I am scared because I haven't a clue as to what happened to me that day. Those were all of the symptoms of a TIA and they are saying it wasn't one.

My Dad has been diagnosed with having delirium after a stroke. He is continuously restless and agitated, he is always pulling at the bedclothes or taking off his own clothes. Is there any treatment for delirium and is it reversible?

Now I will say that anything can happen after a stroke, but what I mentioned are the most common symptoms of a stroke. I do not not want you to worry about having a stroke, but if you have something that is bad enough to make you stressed out and can't wait to the doctor, then go to the ER. Our bodies always tell us when something is wrong.

My friend was had her baby and 3 hours after he was delivered he had a stroke, a baby! It can happen at any age. Just know the side effects of a stroke coming on, the sooner you know the faster you can get treatment. Time lose is brain loss. There are various types of strokes. My stroke was in the brainstem, they consider that to be the worsekind. Your brainstem is like a central hub of your bodies functions. You'll feel numbness, slurring your speech, and your walking is unbalanced.

The chance of having a stroke approximately doubles for each decade of life after age 55, heredity, race, gender, history of previous TIA or stroke, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, poor physical activity, poor diet, hyperlipidemia etc. I would suggest that you visit a urologist and rule out all the risk factors listed above and take appropriate treatment. Best.

I am sorry to hear this about your friend. Unfortunately it is hard to say why he is in a coma. It could be from a stroke, could be from a loss of cerebral blood perfusion due to the surgery. If the MD's havent determined why, then it is hard to say...Good luck and keep your head up. Even in a coma people can hear others talking to them. Visit him if possible and play music or read to him. If there is not significant neurological damage, it is only a matter of time before he wakes up..

Hi, The time when swallowing ability comes back for a patient who suffered from stroke depends on a lot of factors such as the severity of stroke, the extent of damage or his body response. A swallow test involves seeing if a person can swallow a little bit of water without coughing or choking. If the person has any difficulties swallowing, they will be seen by a speech and language therapist, who can assess the problem and work out a diet that is easy to eat.

I had a left cerebellar stroke in oct of 2007. I am 20 years old. They said it happened because of birth control and smoking. I really want to have another baby, but I am worried about what could happen. I have a 2 year old, and that pregnancy went perfect!! But I am worried about having another one. I have left side weakness when i dont get enough sleep, and i still have tingling in my left arm, but i take aspirin every day and check my blood pressure and it stays low.

) I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy :)
