She said: “I have an MTHFR mutation that can cause blood clots in the umbilical cord going to the baby.
She continued, “I had a miscarriage late in my pregnancy, so I’m considered at high risk, and doctors have me getting blood thinner injections every day.”
According to healthline.com, women with positive mutations in the MTHFR gene may be at increased risk of miscarriage and pre-eclampsia.
Babies may also be at increased risk for birth defects such as spina bifida.
Hemodilution is the most common treatment for MTHFR mutations.

In November, the happy parents threw a gender reveal party and invited the whole family.
In the party video, Joy Anna said: [Duggar]helped set up all the balloons and get ready for the party!”

After all, they were wrong. When all the balloons on the dartboard popped, a blue confetti cannon popped out.
“I just want to say I’m completely shocked,” Joy Anna said.
