Update
At our follow-up, the MFM specialist also noticed some abnormalities in the placenta. I was sent to get blood work done and he called my doctor. They are suspecting a partial molar pregnancy, bringing some serious complications to the table. This requires a D&C, which is scheduled for Thursday, and a year of dedicated monitoring… Continue reading Update
