Hi Sams Mum

I have just read Sam's story and hope that everything progresses well for him as it should, and I am sure it will. I just wanted to ask you about your NAIT's. My husband and I fell pregnant last year with twins but at the 20 week scan it looked like one of our precious babies had a inter cranial bleed, though there was a difference of opinion at the time. Nait was suggested to us at the time, not by our dr but by another specialist. It was never followed through at the time partly because we were told it was so rare.... but mostly because our pregnancy took a horrible turn, unrelated to the 'potential NAIT' and we lost our little babies. Now that we are trying to fall pregnant again my husband and I had a screening done on our platlet groups to see it we have a mix match. We do...we are in compatable on hpa 3a/b which could be a 'potential NAIT' case. After speaking with a fetal maternal medicine specialist, and who consulted a fetal haematologist, we were told they didn't believe our baby had NAIT and that we wouldn't be treated for it in our next pregnancy, as the risks with treatment out way the risk of NAIT. They had both said they had never seen a case of NAIT due to hpa 3a/b, and I have yet to find one in the searching I have done. Obviously it is good to hear the experts in the field say they don't think it id NAIT but I can't help worrying. Do you know anything about the type of incompatibility that you and your partner had? Any information that you have found out about NAIT would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
