Hi Sarah mine was in sept 02 and another aneurysm clipped jan 03 I was pregnant about 2wks later with my first now got 2 lol. I felt like you do now but it was more just after my first child was born. I was 23 when mine ruptured I am really sorry that your mother is trying to rush you back into work, tell her you will go when you are ready. If you want to ask anything at all just PM me or post on here. Welcome to BTG it really is a great support group. Jess.xxx
