Worth it!

Our little miracle is here! This was my 7th pregnancy, 4th live birth (3 losses) and 1st pregnancy on anticoagulants. Things went very smoothly with the delivery & my bleeding was less than OB expected. We are so relieved that she's here. And I don't mind at all the postpartum shots. Once a day seems like less trouble than the twice a day heparin (I transitioned at 36 wks in preparation for delivery since heparin is out of your system in half the time so there's less risk of hemorrhage). Or maybe I don't mind them because I am so THRILLED that the blood thinners did their job in helping us keep this one. She sure is sweet.
