hi babybean

wanted to see if you got already more info bout the unknown haemoglobin, if u dont mind me asking?

we got our letter today

Juleika is carrier of haemoglobin C!

but to be a carrier results only into a problem, if she has babies with sb who also has an abnormal haemoglobin and then the chance is one out of four that the baby will have a disease!

so we dont have to worry, our babies are healthy

Yeah the doctor game me some info about what they had picked up... I cant remember exacly what it was at the moment its all written on the letter I beleive its Hb + V or something like that.

I'm going to get the bloods done when Olivia is getting around 6 months and have the tests carried out so we can find out exactly what it is and where it has stemed from

we are going to get OH's blood and mine checked that we can rule out any problems regarding the haemoglobins for baby #2

we will have a visit on the 25th from a nurse which will explain all to us.

in your case, is it then a new as long undected haemoglobin, as they said its unknown?

I think so...

In all honesty I find it a tad confusing... I suupose once we have had the further tests carried out it will reveal alot more.

I'm also wanting to know if this will have any kind of effect or baby #2 or the possibilitys.

When do you get you bloods etc done? Are they going to be taken from Juleika too?

I want to get blood test done asap in case #2 comes without planning
however we have a lot going on at the moment, so I think we will not come round it before the end of march!
we do not need to get a blood test done for Juleika again as we know already she is HB C. for her it will be necessary to know what her partner's haemoglobins are when she is planning for babies. I will tell her 'bout it when the time has come for her being possibly getting pregnant!
