It’s been two straight days that I have been seeing it. Someone is browsing through my entries with tags PREGNANCY AND LUPUS.
So, I am guessing here. I have a reader who is pregnant and very much worried because she has a LUPUS or she is married and wants to get pregnant but is worried because of LUPUS.
Well, let me tell you this. Worrying won’t help. Trust your fate to God and if you really believe in HIM, he willl get you through it.
Before I got pregnant, I have LUPUS, PULMONARY EMBOLISM, CYST in my OVARY and got operated because of the fluid on my lungs. My rheuma told me to be careful because I cannot get pregnant while I am still drinking coumadin for my pulmonary embolism.
But we got a suprised when I did a test and two lines appeared. We were really happy. It was a dream come true for us. Yet, my rheuma asked me if I wanted to continue on with the pregnancy. Because of the threat of abnormalities brought about by taking coumadin. I don’t need to think twice. I said of course, i will continue on come what may.
And so we continue our journey. With me being worried day in, day out. Until that D day comes.
I am suffering from pre eclampsia. Lucky me that my doctors knew the signs and they have done everything to avoid any untoward events despite of my hard headedness.
I delivered via CS operation, in the morning I was able to move my hips, second day I took a bath, third day we went home.
Looking back, one thing that i should have not done. Worry to much.
Today, I am enjoying my life as a stay at home. While I was really sick with LUPUS, my rheuma told me not to resigned from my job for monetary and emotional purpose. But now, he knows it was my choice to do so. And taking care of Anevay have been one of my motivation now to be strong.
My doctors are Dr. Ditas Decena, rm 6001, medical arts building ust, schedule is from monday to saturday. and of course, my rheuma is dr. inocencio alejandro, he has clinics in st. lukes (rm 901) and ust (rm 6010). when i go for check up, both doctors discuss my conditions and what meds to take. their the best one can get!
And just in case you are worried about the condition of the baby when delivered, i may say, make sure that you do everything possible to keep her healthy while he/she is in your tummy. so that when she/he comes out of the world, there would be no problem. ON my last month, i had weekly ultrasound ;). And if you are thinking of neo natal lupus, well there is a possibility but according to my rheuma and I believed him, its on the smallest percentage side. Anevay did not have it. Fortunately.
Oh by the way, it won’t hurt to say that on my first month of being pregnant I went to the healing mass of Fr. Joey Faller. After that mass, I told myself I am cured and there is no need for heparin. Which came true.
And it also would be a big plus if your husband truly care and understand your needs. Even before you understood it yourself. My husband has been my rock during my preggy days. He’s the one who can tell if there is something wrong with me simply by my text or by talking to me. Isn’t he great?
I would end this entry with something that hubby and I say to each other during our struggles : Keep the faith!
