I had tests for autoimmune and blod clotting disorders (thrombophilia panel). You're regular doctor should be able to perform these tests as would your gynecologist (some do and some don't).

I was on enoxaparin (generic lovenox) pretty much my entire pregnancy. Before getting pregnant, I was on the name brand lovenox for another health complication. Yep... huge price difference. I paid $750 for 14 shots of the name brand and $150 for a month's worth of generic. Heparin I paid even less ...

Once I hit 30 weeks I did buy one preemie outfit just in case as well and thankfully we didn't need it and I just donated it(and a...

I didn't start that process until I was about 28 weeks. I was was so ...
