MTHFR and Pregnancy

Mentioned in the last post, Caitlin's sister Courtney is presently having a successful pregnancy (28w3d!) so far.  She is now into the 3rd trimester, which is a relief after 3 miscarriages.  For those new to this blog, Courtney's OB took an aggressive approach by starting baby aspirin before pregnancy and lovenox blood thinner shots (40mg. once per day) with a positive pregnancy test plus progesterone pills.  He believes the foliate in prenatal vitamins is enough and didn't prescribe more.  You can read more on her pregnancy here: http://barnettbaby2010.blogspot.com/
