1st appt

G and I have decided to try for another baby. Will has been asking for a while for a baby brother. I know that having a child can be risky but I feel in my heart that it is the right thing for my family. G and I met with an OBGYN on 11/29 to talk about me getting pregnant. The Dr. talked to us about the risks and ways to decrease the risks. She asked me to talk to my Cardiologist and to meet with a Maternal Fetal Specialist to devise a plan that would be best for both me and the baby. At Dr's advice I have started taking prenatal vitamins and am working on weight loss to help when it is time to remove my birth control and try to get pregnant. My appt with the Cardio is 12/17. I am sure that he will advise against pregnancy. OBGYN said that most cardiologist will. I am still hopeful that he will help me to carry safely. I meet with a Maternal Fetal Specialist at Duke on January 8th. There I will learn more about what precautions I will need to take and a decision will be made about my anti coagulation therapy. I have prayed that the Lord show me his will, and I feel as though he is guiding me on this journey. I hope that I am right. I hope that by this time next year I will be holding my second miracle.
