Caitlin's hematologist called her today with the results of the blood tests. He checked her blood clotting time and her homocysteine levels, all which came back within normal range. I think he said her homocysteine level was a 4.9 (10-14 is a moderate concern & 15 + is a severe concern). So the 1mg. extra folic acid along with the prenatal vitamin Neevo DHA for MTHFR patients seems to working by keeping the homocysteine level in normal range. Also the 81mg. aspirin seems to be keeping the blood thin enough with proper clotting times. GREAT NEWS!
Even with the good news on the blood work, the hematologist and OB decided that the next level of care should be taken to monitor the pregnancy....especially with the known MTHFR blood disorder now coupled with placenta previa. An appointment has been set up with a Maternal Fetal Medicine OB Specialist. The consult visit will be on March 6th starting off with an ultrasound!!!! YAY! Caitlin will be 11w1d....probably toooooo soon to tell the sex of the baby. But that's OK, as long as the baby and the pregnancy is healthy and monitored closely!
Caitlin also set up a elective 3D/4D gender ultrasound on March 27th at 6PM. The whole family will get to be a part of this one to celebrate the sex of the baby! Caitlin will be 14w1d at this ultrasound!
Will post the next belly picture on Friday!
