Hello my fellow high risk mommies!

E

One week after my first pregnancy (now a verbose three year old princess wannabe), I experienced a blood clot. So of course I had multiple tests and discovered I had not one, but two bleeding disorders that both cause blood clots during pregnancy. Yay!

So during my entire second pregnancy (a bubbling beautiful two year old boy) I was on lovenox. Because I'm blessed with craziness, at 36 weeks I experienced a cerebral hemorrhage. They still don't know the cause but it forced me to give birth to my son at 37 weeks. Thankfully he was completely healthy.

Due to all of that awesomeness, we decided to be done having kids so my husband promptly got snipped last December he was given the all clear.

So imagine my surprise when right before my annual mri, the lovely nurse informed me I was pregnant. Hahaha...

Now I'm 12.4 weeks, taking arixtra shots and seeing the high risk clinic. We were given the ok by my neurologist and hemotologist. So we're proceeding with caution.

I just want to say, good luck to everyone and I'm here if anyone wants to talk :)
