I’ve recently had a child whom I gave birth to at only 29 weeks, weighing only 730grams. She was very premature and suffered from this due to my blood condition. I need hope or advice as I may be pregnant with my second child (unexpected) and need some moms to shine light on positive/good pregnancy’s while having polycytheamia. HELP
Hi amy. You didn't mention if you are on any meds to control the Polycythemia.normally, you would be put on meds to prevent blood clots. This would not be good for the baby. I hope some other moms have had the experience and can advise you. Your Hematologist may also be able to advise you. Best wishes, harrishill
Hi Amy I had three children after my diagnosis two 8 pounders and one 9
Pounds. They were all well except my son had to have photo therapy for high bilirubin levels. This was down to blood type I think rather than my condition. Best of luck.
