When you think about it, it is such a miracle that anyone has a live baby.<BR/><BR/>I know I'm negative for Fifth's, and I would be terrified if I got pregnant again, especially if Mimi were in daycare. Add it to the list of things to be scared of: deli turkey, Prevacid, lizard poop...<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you have an answer though. ((hugs)) to you.

Which would explain why there were no outward symptoms of distress before that day.<BR/><BR/>I tend to believe that the doc is spot on on this one...particularly given the lack of clotting issues.<BR/><BR/>And I know it didn't cause Alex's death. Alex died from a bacterial infection (proven by autopsy).

There really is no way of knowing, but I for one doubt it caused your losses. I highly recommend taking down a wall or two with a sledgehammer, after drawing a picture of the doctor's face on it. Highly useful for getting the frustration out.

Did you have a test for these antibodies before you became pregnant with Travis, and you were negative for them? Because if not, it is far more likely that you had already been exposed long ago.<BR/><BR/>Also if Travis had B19, it should have shown up on his test results, no?<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the timing of his death (around 20 weeks) is consistent with loss associated with B19. So that might be what Dr. A. is holding on to.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536809590856333391noreply@blogger.com
