Have to see the genetic counselor...

Juni · Guru

How stressful! I am so glad they can get you seen first thing in the morning. I'm praying that it's something silly. Please let us know when you can what is going on!

Thanks. Do you think the office would call me about the aspirin thing? I'm hoping that's what it is. That they are just going to make us waste time driving there for stuff we found out about 5 years ago. As of our last appt, they still hadn't gotten my file out of strorage, even though I'd told them since Dec that we would need it. Even Corry, the genetic counselor was ticked off about not having it by the time we me with him on 3/15...

I have no idea but 5 years is a long time and I could definitely see that being a possibility. At least the u/s have all looked good!

Sonya · Guru

Sending prayers. I'm sure it is the asprine thing. Hopefully it is nothing to worry about.

a_mastermom · Guru

Ugh, super stessful! Please keep us posted.

Sara · Guru

Many prayers that all is fine.

happylib · Guru

Sending up prayers for you. I think it's quite likely it's about the same thing. Even if they know it's a repeat and you have been through this before, they will probably still call you in and go through the whole routine to make sure that you understand and know everything. It is probably a standard cya procedure.

Anxiously waiting for an update...

Supafly · Guru

I am just now seeing this, Victoria, and saying prayers!! Any update yet???

The baby is fine.

They tested Steve the same time they did me, and it turns out he has some kind of clotting problem, don't remember the name, but it is more serious then whatever I have. He is at greater risk for DVT and needs to see a hemeatologist. Andrew should also be tested for it. As should Steve's brother. Steves' dad has had clots before, so it's prolly from his dad. Steve is going to try and get him tested, but it came from one of his parents, so it could be his mom.

I need to to stay on the asprin as its the only meds that will work that will cross the placenta. I will need more U/S's to check to make sure the baby is growing enough.

So, out of everything it could be, I'm taking this as fantastic news!!!

Thank you everybody for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank goodness! And what luck that they found that out about Steve before it was too late! Great news!

apies · Guru

phew, that's a great update!!!

Alison · Guru

That's a great update! I bet you are so relieved!

I was on low-dose aspirin my entire pregnancy with Evie because it is recommended for preggos with a history of early onset, severe preeclampsia. I didn't have any problems resulting from the aspirin, and even took it the day before my c-section and had no excess bleeding issues. It didn't do a damn thing about the pre-e, LOL, but it didn't hurt either. :)

That is great, Victoria!! I am relieved all is well with the baby.

Keep us posted about Steve though-what do they do about this problem?

Thanks everybody. I was so freaked out, but trying not to be, KWIM? I hardly slept last night. This afternoon I hopped in the tub and slept there for almost an hour. LOL! I'm off to bed, but wanted to say thank you. I really believe prayer can help.
