So there I was, young and now 9 weeks pregnant...my life was about to change in more ways than I expected. Once I was was diagonsed with LA, I was told that I would have to see a specialist for the duration of my pregancy. So off to UCLA I went, now 15 weeks pregnant, I met with Dr. Tavish, a man of few words, but when he did speak you heard what he said. He immediately asked my husband and I why we were coming to him so late in my pregnancy? Late?! We had no idea what he meant by that, we had followed the medical red tape procedure. We thought that we had done everything right. Only to find out that I was at a high risk of a miscarriage again because we didn't see him before I got pregnant. We reminded him that we didn't know I had LA until after I was pregnant and the delay of seeing him was do to another Doctor's incompentance..a possible law suit was in the making. 15 weeks into a pregnancy is very dangerous of women with LA, our bodies have already started to attack the placentia, like the video game Pac Man eating the blinking lights. Immediately I was put on a regiment of Predizone and Heprin. The Predizone was to make the fetus grow and gain weight at a rapid pace. The Heprin was used to make my blood thin, to trick it, so that the fetus and placentia would not be considered the enemy.

Until next week..when I talk about what the Predizone and Heprin did to my fetus and my body.
