hello ladies im the lady that had a liver transplant only last year on 23rd feb 2011, so im on anti rejection meds im also on meds for seizures and bipoler type 2. i was told at 6 weeks that my pregnancy is considered very very high risk. hopefully some of u remember me from my first post on here

anyway u all asked for me to keep u all posted so thought id start a new thread and keep it going

so im now almost 22 weeks pregnant and very happy, ive had a few scans and baby is doing great

i have my glucose intolerence test on the 6th nov and a week later on the 14th nov i have my first growth scan and get to c the high risk consultant again and ill also get the results from the gtt.

i have to have steroid jabs at 27 28 weeks to mature babas lungs as im at a higher risk of giving birth prem.

my meds can make the baby a lower birthweight than normol so ill b having growth scans every 3 weeks from 26 weeks.
ill also b being closely monitered for pre eclampsia as my meds make my blood preshure high so im at a greater risk of developing pre eclampsia.

i was told that the baby may have adnormalities but my scans have proved that baby has none and is developing normol and im so relieved and thankfull to god whome ive been i been doing alot of preying to

anyway thats about it for now still feel i cant really relax yet as i was told i wud b lucky if i make it to 27 weeks so im still worried as im only coming up to 22 weeks and have a while to go yet. im really preying baby stays put untill at least 35 weeks ive made alot of good friends in the christian thread they have all been so very supportive, wud just like to say to any of u if u want preying for pls ask, sending u all love and

sorry about the long post hope it all makes sence
