A woman in one of my online forums for Factor V Leiden (my clotting deficiency) compiled this slideshow to raise awareness of FVL in pregnancy. I was of course crying through the whole thing (I'm blaming it on the hormones), but the section showing the preemies and stillborn babies made me so thankful to be feeling these tiny little kicks in my tummy! It was also a good reminder as to why I keep taking those not-so-fun injections that are turning my belly a sort of camouflaged patchwork of purple, yellow, and green bruises. It was also a great reminder that I should be even more thankful for the healthy and super energetic little three year old that I have!
