2nd Trimester

F/U to my crappy doctor appt. yesterday

So I posted about my crappy doctor appt. yesterday.  Well, it keeps on getting better... turns out the doctor really was a total flake.

He did not tell me anything about my genetic markers putting me at an immediate risk for any clots or anything else, I guess because I have no history and no family history of them so he says I can just stay on the low dose aspirin and up my folic acid intake.  I got home and read up on the mutations he told me I had and was a little concerned when I read that one of them often causes clots in the umbilical cord that cut off nutrients to the baby, etc.  I definitely did not want to discuss this with that doc again so I figured I would ask my CNM about it at my appt. on Tuesday since it's right around the corner. 

This morning I get a call from the nurse who tells me that the other doctor that deals with genetic abnormalities in maternal/fetal medicine (who I've met and like) went over my chart and wants me to start on preventative low-dose blood thinners ASAP.  She said it can wait until my CNM appt. but that they don't want to take the risk of clots forming; easier to prevent than deal with later when it's an issue.  I'm going in tomorrow to start on the daily injections.  I'm not thrilled about that part but am glad that the other doctor stepped in and fixed that guys mistake.
