Hey girls. . . a bit about me

in High-Risk Pregnancy

I just wanted to introduce myself over here. . .

Last year I was pregnant with twins and developed HELLP Syndrome at 19w2d; I had to deliver 2 days later.  When I was hospitalized they discovered a whole host of clotting disorders (in sig) - interestingly, most of them disappear when I'm not pregnant, but whatever :)

After that I continued to lurk around the nest/ bump (I had been a member of SAIF), and was thrilled when I saw that they made this board - since I knew that, if I ever were pregnant again, I'd definitely be high risk.

Well, here I am again, in the *very* early stages of pregnancy.  I probably would have held off introducing myself except I started Lovenox last night, and *holy crap* I hate that stuff!   It was indeed just as bad as I remembered from last time :)  Anyway, I knew there'd be people here that could relate.

I'm looking forward to "meeting" you all :)

    I just wanted to say welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy :)  I am so sorry for your loss of your precious twins. There are lots of great women on this board (unfortunately) and hopefully they can help out more with your specific conditions.

    I will be saying a prayer for this little baby you are carrying!

    Just wanted to say hi.  I am a lovenox girl too.  I have a genetic disorder called Factor V Leiden that causes clots.  This is my 2nd pregnancy on lovenox.  I don't hate it at all though.  It doesn't bother me in the least.  My terrible m/s is a thousand times worse than the lovenox!!  Good luck with everything and congrats!

    Welcome!

    I am very sorry to hear about your previous experience.  But i hope this one is a million times better and you get your precious LO. 

    As you see, we have a lot of lovenox ladies here.  You seem to have a whole slew of thrombophilias.  More than I have ever seen, actually.  I wish you the best of luck.  Are you taking extra folic acid for your MTHFR or are you just on the lovenox?  I always say MTHFR as a curseword in my head, but that is me.  It really is a mofo though, especially with everything else you have. 

    Anyway, fire away your questions, lament on your bad days.  Console with us, and cheer on our successes.  It is a good group here.

    I am so sorry for the loss of your twins...I had been following your blog (I also had HELLP). Congratulations! I think you are incredibly brave. Good luck to you! (I am a floater from the Preemie board, but frequent this board and lurk, bc I will be high-risk next time)
