A VISIT TO THE SPECIALIST

Today we visited with Dr Chau, our prego specialist. We (my mom) had numerous questions regarding my recent blood thinner shots I have to take twice a day in my belly. Dr Chau was soo vivid with her explanation that I now feel at ease with the daily shots. Dr Chau explained that pre-prego I have a protein S deficiency causing blood clots with my thick blood (texture of syrup). When you become prego your body produces more blood to share with the baby so now on top of my 40% thicker than normal, I have an additional 10% increase = if I wouldn't take my blood thinner shots I am in danger of a stroke or heart attack. After she explained this she spoke of why Noah was 2 months early...I was not receiving blood because I had clotted in the placenta. The placenta dried up and then the pain came = Noah came! Now with treating me early, I should be able to carry full term and healthy! God is Good all the time! Skylar was adorable in her ultrasound...here's a photo to share!
