I have a question for you all:

I have a blood clotting disorder that caused my little baby Sophia Grace to be stillborn last year. And I haven't seen my hemotologist in awhile, but I want to find some statistics on second pregnancies for women with this disorder. I don't know the specific name, but any info helps!
I just want to know where to look, or see if there's any hope for me and my future rainbows! Or even if you have any info on-hand it helps too, just give me some hope pleeaase!!!!!

I have a blood clotting disorder as well. I took daily aspirn with my rainbow and lots of extra folic acid..about 5mg a day. He is now almost 6 months old :-) It is possible! Its hard to find hope after losing a baby but with God ALL is possible! I will warn you though, pregnancy after stillbirth is terrifying! It was a long scary 9 months. I literally thought this baby would die too. Once I heard him cry..my cry drowned his out lol. Aa terrifying as it is, I hope you find the hope and peace to try again :-) ~Sydney

I experienced a blood clot last year and I am trying to conceive right now. I saw a Maternal Fetal Specialist and was told that my history of clotting and stillbirth would mean that I would need to be on Lovenox during my entire pregnancy and 6 weeks post-partum. I tested negative for clotting disorders. This really scared me and I thought about not trying for children again. I found this great website that is a support group for those who had to take Lovenox and I found many, many women there who had perfectly healthy babies after taking it. They were very, very supportive and were a huge factor in easing my anxiety about conceiving with all these dangers. The site is called Lovely Lovenox Ladies. http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a241035/lovely_lovenox_ladies?

If you find out the specific disorder and get treatment for it then you should be able to have "normal" chances just like "normal" moms. Also, you may be able to see high risk doctors which means more frequent visits, more attention, and more information!

I have a disorder that did not cause my angel's death but I am being treated for it now that I know about it. I just have to take tons of folic acid and a baby aspirin every day (for the rest of my life). It really depends on the disorder--but no matter what it is you have to get all the treatment you can.

In my research i found that Cleaxne and Aspirin are the best with extra folic acids ofcourse
