Zoe McGroarty, a new mom who gave birth to her second child, began to feel an "icy blast" in her body two days after giving birth, causing her to experience shoulder pain. She claims that doctors dismissed her pain, stating it was from holding her newborn baby and that they probably just had the flu. However, she returned to the doctor who diagnosed her with sepsis-induced blood clots, which led to six deadly DVTs in her arm. The clots can be caused by a "vein injury or slow-flowing blood" and may partially or completely block blood flow through your vein. Because of her condition, McGroarto will have to take blood thinners for life and doesn't want any more children due to the experience.
