pregnant with Factor V Leiden Disorder Posted: 05-22-08 23:44pm
Hi, my GF is pregnant and has the Factor V
Leiden disorder. She is entering her
second trimester. Of course with this
condition the pregnancy is high risk.
She recently went to see specialist again,
they gave her another echo cardiogram and
the fetus heart beat is once again low;
worst than a few months prior.
The beats are around 70 bps. I am afraid.
For some reason she cannot take steroids
or hormones regularly. She negatively
reacts to penicillin, I think is why.
Later today her family doctor will see if
she can take steroids. If anyone can lend
advice to this matter, it will be
appreciative. Thank you.
