This baby has taken us all by surprise, but now we are looking at what is next. I have what is called Neonatal Alloimmue Thrombocytopenia , which basically means I have a rare antigen and my body recognizes our baby as a foreign obect. So my body is fighting off our little one causing the baby to loose platelets. So in trying to prevent a low platelet count and/or brain hemorrhaging I will be given a weekly dose via 10 hour injections of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and prednisone starting at week 20. The baby will be delivered c-section between 36-37 weeks so the baby receives the least amount of trama. We are praying for a healthy baby, and God's peace during this time.
Side note
