Like clockwork...

...my liver has begun to shut down with the last trimester of this pregnancy.


It has happened with all of my pregnancies. It is not fun. It is SO Uncomfortable, but even more than that it can be really dangerous for the baby. It can cause stillborn (the reason I was advised not to have any more kids).

However, once the baby is out they are fine (and beautiful), and my liver goes back to doing it’s job (the reason I decided it was worth having another one).

I have talked to several medical professionals and there is just so little known about this condition. The best thing to do is keep close supervision of the baby and to deliver early. The specialist I just met with recommends delivering at 36 to 37 weeks if the baby’s lungs are ready. Here’s to hoping this baby develops quickly!!! The next 2 months are going to be a nightmare.

But totally worth it.


In the meantime, I will be starting a collection of these…


Who knows, maybe I'll start requesting they come in different colors.

Oh no! I was hoping you would keep feeling great!!! The last trimester is uncomfortable enough without all the other stuff you have to deal with. I'm sorry! You and the baby are in our thoughts and prayers! We love you!
