blood thinner shots while prg

Feb 22 2008 My bro and sis in law were 34 weeks preg with their second, a lil girl.  Sis in law ruptured.  Gracie died.  They couldn't get her out in time.  Sept 2008 they miscarried at 10 weeks.  After some testing they said she had a blood disorder and that she'd have to take heparin(sp?) shots every day while preggo if she get got preggo again.  They told her not to try until they said it was ok.   A few days ago I get the call.   Mom says their preggo.  Her doc's told them to try again.  Yes, I love babies and I'd love to be a aunt again but I am petrified.  With Gracie she had a pocket of blood develope behind the uterus.  It burst causing the problems then.  When they had the miscarriage in Sept 08 there was another pocket of blood developing.  Has anyone ever known anyone to go thru this?  They do have one child, my niece Bailey.  She's 4 yrs old and my sis in law's pregnancy with her was ok.  I'm just scared and worried and I know they are too.  They don't talk about it and I don't force it.  I just thought I'd come on here and see if any of u had heard of stuff like this before.  I'm not sure if taking the heparin shots will even help.  I just pray it all works out ok.
Thanks

Hi Ange,

I have a friend that has the same blood disorder and she had 5 losses until they got her on heparin shots as soon as she finds out she is pregnant.  She has had 3 successful pregnancies with the shots.  I am sure her doctor is now prepared and hopefully everything will turn out perfectly.

Wishing your sister in la a healthy and uneventful pregnancy.

 

Thank u Cira, I feel alot better now knowing that someone else had good luck in this same situation.  How are u and your lil ones doing?

You're welcome Ange I am glad you feel a little better about this now.  She will be monitored closely and I am sure everything will be alright.

I am doing good and my kids are doing great thanks for asking.  Gia Makaila is about to turn 17 months old and she is about to cut her 6th tooth.  She is my only child that has taken this long to cut teeth (usually all my babies has a full set of teeth by this age)  She is petite and a wonderful happy baby. 

I hope all is great with you!

I'm glad Cira was able to give you some positive supporting information...I'd never heard of it...but wanted to say I pray your bro & SIL have a healthy pregnancy now that the dr's have hopefully determined what the problem is. 

Thank u...
