I had no idea what to expect from my c-section or what would happen to my daughter who had HDFN after delivery.

If I could go back and do things over, I would find a doctor who specialized in HDFN from the very start, instead of waiting.

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) has affected our family in many ways, including major changes to our family planning.

My experience showed me the importance of making informed decisions and finding a doctor who will go the extra mile.

Despite the challenges in our journey, my daughter and I are both happy and healthy due to the treatment we received.

When I was 26 weeks pregnant, I began weekly Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) Doppler assessments, as my infant was at risk for HDFN.

Being prepared can make the blood transfusion process much easier for you and your HDFN-affected baby.

Throughout our journey with HDFN, my family found strength in our family and friends, and together, we were able to face whatever came our way.

This experience taught us about making informed decisions about HDFN treatment and the importance of providers who truly care about their patients.

After my daughter was treated with multiple blood transfusions, I can only describe the change in her health as miraculous.
