At just 21 years old, I was about to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary, I was in my last year of college, and I had just found out that I was carrying a baby girl. I was ecstatic with the news of our little one and was in such a joyful place in life.
When you find out that you are pregnant, they run you through a slew of tests, just to make sure the mother and baby are healthy; One of those tests is a blood test. When my blood test came back it showed an extremely low number of platelets (these are what causes your blood to clot).
