Lynn says:
Uh.....yeah, see #2. Also had to self-inject Lovenox twice a day, an anti-coagulant, which was not well-understood in terms of safety for the fetus at that time, but was necessary as a life-sustaining measure. I feared another clot. Ultimately, I left it with God and he carried me through :)

Did you have a "feeling" you would have a boy or girl before you had a scan? »
