My doctor spent a lot of time with me which I really appreciated.
Not all of the pathology labs were back and neither were chromosonal.
But this is what she did know.
I do have one marker for a blood clotting gene but only one and not the other you usually need plus she didn'tnsee anything to show cause for a clot in the cord.
My herpes 1 was elevated. No surprise I have gotten cold sores since Inwas a child. The cut off is .89 and Inwas at .90. So only 1/10th and she says she doesn't think that's the cause.
She thought it was going to be parvo (never knew adults could get this until I was researching) but I am immune.
She does not really think it will be chromosonal. My quad screen at 16 weeks was great and he looked fantastic at 20 weeks.
So there are two sides to the placenta that she cultured. Maternal which is what is attached to the uterus and the other side which is attached to the cord.
I can't remember what side she saidbut it came back positive for enterococcus infection.
She said she doesn't know for sure if that is what killed Grant or since he had been passed for awhile if Ingot the infection after.
I have a strong feeling when his pathology comes back that it will show he had the infection as well.
It just maks sense for how things transpired.
She said she does not think I'm at a risk for another stillbirth but since I've had one if we have another child I would see her and an MFM which is a specialist who will most likely do more testing plus more ultrasounds/monitoring.
My doc said she wiuld have no problem running more tests at my visits eithe and she could give both Mr. B and I zpaks every month just as a preventitive in case I were to get another infection.
I felt really good after the appointment. I'm really hoping we get Grant's pathology in the next week or two just to know for sure.
I love you my sweet boy. I think about you every second of the day.
