I am looking for some info really. Apologies if the info that follows is a bit rubbish, I am passing it on as I understand it.
My sister has just been diagnosed at 30 weeks, has been monitoring her blood. Her initial test gave her a reading of 10 which is apparently quite high.
She has had a few readings over 6 this week and now her doctor has decided to put her onn tablets rather than allow her to control through diet.
She has been told that she will have to be induced at 38 weeks because there is a risk of unexplained deaths after this.
Can anyone tell me why this might be? She wants whats best for her dc but doesn't understand (they said they'll explain next time!).
She's had a growth scan and all is fine.
Any info would be much appreciated!
