Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello - Sorry for the long absence: work, work-related-travel, still hiding a bit. You know, the usual stuff :)

Aspen - Good luck this month - Fingers Crossed.

Kristin - I am thinking of you and feel so bad that you are struggling. Sometimes people can just be so rotten. I'll post later when I have had a chance to get some perspective and not just type my bad thoughts about him.

Jayjaysmom - I did have those tests. I would not worry too much. I take baby aspirin while ttc and while pg. I was also on lovenox during my pg because they thought that was my issue. This pg had other problems, though, so I don't know if it would have made any difference. It's another daily belly shot, but there weren't really any side effects that I noticed. My dr started it as soon as we got to heartbeat, but others recommend starting sooner. I have an assortment of genetic markers (or whatever they are called) that make me predisposed to clotting disorders. I have not found anything definitive connecting it to mc, my drs say it's pretty much just a "better safe than sorry" approach. They tested my clotting factor, and it was fine, so I was on a prophylactic dose. What I have read is that the clotting-mc issue is more of a second or third trimester issue than 1st.

Everyone else - I hope you are doing well! I just came back today from my work training, so I'm gonna keep it short and check in later.

Baby Dust!!
