Pregnancy number two

     On July 2019  my baby boy was born 8.2 lbs. I was 39 weeks when I was induced because my doctor was out of town and I was not wanting to go over on my due date. I was so ready for him to be born. Everything went smooth for the most part and my CBC hemoglobin was at a 7.2 I did not need a blood transfusion which was amazing but I did deal a difference from this pregnancy’s and my first.
     On my first pregnancy my CBC was at a 5 and had two transfusions before delivering actually all in one month. I did notice that my legs were slimmer and I looks like a pregnant corpse to a point which was weird to me but I barely gained 20lbs. 
     Second pregnancy I gained almost 30 lbs my legs kept their muscle tone and I felt great. No bone pain, ache or drugs . I still kept up with all my doctors and still did my natural path procedures. 
     In the end of my pregnancy my numbers were still lower than the 2018 spike numbers, even though they were somewhat coming to a spike it was hard to tell because of my hormones.
     After 1 month of postpartum I went to my oncologist to get checked and everything has returned to normal, my CBC was at a 9 ish but my IG’s were still heading up. I love my oncologist because we talked about options and I mentioned to her that I was done with doing bone marrow biopsy and I know that is the best way to find out if it’s the myeloma but I was done with getting my hips drilled. I had 5 biopsy in one year and that is enough to last me a life time specially when doctors have a hard time drilling on my hard bones . I had a lot of milk growing up what can I say. We agreed that unless it is beyond critical risk my numbers are all out of control ummm there might be a possibility of doing one but until then I will save my body from getting probed. 
     I began doing my magupuncture once a month in November and will be running another CBC test this month and see where we are and what we need to incorporated to my health. 

Thank you for joining me
