I know just how daunting and challenging the shots and other medications can seem right now, but it is manageable. I am not trying to tell you that any subsequent pregnancy will not be filled with worry and anxiety because it will and it will seem like the longest pregnancy ever known to man, but you can survive it. I lost my precious son Gavin when he was 26 days old last year after a completely textbook, perfect pregnancy. The docs still debate whether it was some type of cord accident during the last week of my pregnancy or due to the blood clotting disorder we discovered I have after I had Gavin. We will never know. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and have been doing Lovenox injections for 28 long weeks. Yes, my belly is not attractive with all of the bruises and the shots do burn but if it means that this little girl can make it to my arms safe and sound I would do anything they told me to do. Take it one day at a time and absorb the information you were given, I know it can be overwhelming. We learned after my test results that my husband actually has 2 clotting disorders as well. We were shell-shocked for quite some time. Ask questions, when more come to mind just jot them down and don't hesitate to call the docs back. I am sorry for the crazy-long post, I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. You are an amazingly strong woman.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Amanda<br /><br />Forever missing Gavin 4/7-5/3/08Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594999166512854182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659002609114323697.post-31515161927745094572009-07-24T20:49:30.328-04:002009-07-24T20:49:30.328-04:00I have been thinking about you!

Folic acid you already take in your prenatal, but i'm guessing your Dr will want you on a higher dose. Baby aspirin is just one little pill a day. You wouldn't be on both Lovenox and Heparin it would be one or the other. Lovenox would be 1 or 2 shots a day, in your stomach (you get used to it, trust me). The Heparin, IF you go on that it wouldn't be until 36-ish weeks in your pregnancy (and you would come off the Lovenox). Try not to worry about the meds, they really are a small part of your journey. It sucks to be on any meds at all, but you know all too well, you would do anything to make sure your baby is safe. Keeping my fingers crossed for a positive appt tomorrow, I know the uncertainty is harder then the reality. I've been there, and I am currently there. It sucks.<br />*hugs*Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134970929000997104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659002609114323697.post-32277545473246206462009-07-23T20:59:40.843-04:002009-07-23T20:59:40.843-04:00His laugh is so adorable!
