I had my daughter on the 3 rd September 3 moths prem weight one pound I am pleae to say she was ok however I was placed on warfarin after two years I was told I could stop taking it but two month later I was back in hospital with another clot to my leg and place back on warfarin since them iv had 4 clots in my legs a 3 to my lung I have tested positive for factor five v laiden herro I inherited this from my dad .
