Ang is 17 Weeks Along
Hello family and friends,
In case you haven't heard, Angela is currently 17 weeks pregnant! This is great news, since she's had a few miscarriages and never made it past 11 weeks. She's considered "High Risk" and this time her doctor has been running additional blood work tests and sonograms.
Just last week, her doctor delivered the difficult news that Angela has a homozygous MTHFR mutation which causes blood clotting. This condition could threaten both the baby's and Angie's life if proper treatment isn't followed. She is now taking a daily shot of a Lovenox enoxaparin sodium injection and will have to continue medication 45 days after delivery.
Please pray for her as this is a discomfort, inconvenience, and she just doesn't like needles. But still, we are fortunate to have discovered the issue as it is likely related to the previous loss and it's good to know there is a resolution.
All else is well with her pregnancy and she has gained 6 Ibs. We will be finding out the sex in the next month or so.
