Hi there. I am new to these boards and am almost 5 weeks pregnant. I have a 4 year old boy already. When I was pregnant with my first I was told after a routine blood test that they had found anti LUa antibodies in my blood and I needed to have my blood constantly monitored. At the same time I was going through the nightmare of discovering whether my son had an abnormality as well as very bad sickness and constant fainting. I felt my midwife and doctor did not want to overload me with information about these antibodies as I already had enough to worry about. I was told at the end of the pregnancy that the next time we decided to get pregnant myself and my husband will have to have our bloods taken every week throughout the pregnancy to monitor these antibodies. I am yet to see my doctor for the first time this pregnancy as my surgery is always full but I was wondering if anyone has either been through this before or knows anything about anti LUa antibodies and can shed some light on what I should expect. Any information is welcome as my google searches are leaving me more confused. Thanks everyone!!!
Thanks very much! Both my husband and I really appreciate your help. Good to know it it not anything too serious! Kind Regards
