Pari Malhotra, a 35-year-old marketing executive, had a devastating second-trimester miscarriage a year prior with no clear cause. Now pregnant again, she was consumed by anxiety. Her new obstetrician, reviewing her history, ordered thrombophilia screening. The tests revealed she had Protein S deficiency, a condition that increases the risk of placental blood clots and miscarriage. For Pari, this diagnosis was a heartbreaking answer but also a source of grim hope. The doctor recommended prophylactic (preventative) doses of heparin injections starting in the first trimester to protect this pregnancy. Every injection was an act of hope and defiance against her past trauma. The pregnancy was closely monitored with frequent growth scans and Doppler studies to check blood flow. The treatment was successful; the pregnancy progressed without complication. Pari gave birth to a healthy full-term daughter via a planned induction. Her emotional journey was defined by grief transforming into cautious hope. The proactive treatment plan gave her a sense of control she desperately needed. After the birth, the relief was immense, but a layer of sadness for her first loss remains, intertwined with immense gratitude for her living child.
