I’m 12 weeks postpartum and before I was pregnant I had pretty good health. Since getting pregnant I’ve had so many issues such as Hyperemesis, bone pain, pre-eclampsia.
Blood tests after birth showed a dysfunctional liver. Several tests later and the GP says I have an ALT deficiency and they need to send my results to genetics for further testing and to see how ‘urgent’ it is. Now I can’t stop thinking I’m going to die or something is seriously, seriously wrong.
Then today I had a abdomen ultrasound, to include my liver, and the sonographer was really vague, said ‘these tests are good for showing things incidentally’, said she couldn’t tell me anything as I ‘would have questions she cannot answer’. But she did say she ‘can say it’s nothing sinister’. I don’t know what to think but I’ve completely lost my appetite I’m sick with worry. I have no symptoms at all and feel really really well after a horrid pregnancy. Does anyone have any wisdom or similar experience? What does sinister mean? Is something wrong with another organ?!
