1st Trimester

Factor XI Deficiency

I just learned today that I have factor XI Deficiency.  Apparently it is a blood clotting disorder.  Now I need to see a genetic counselor and hemotologist.  I have never had issues in my whole life and it was just a fluke that I got tested for it.  Anyone know anything about this or have it or been through a successful pregnancy with it?  My doctor said it isn't an issue with miscarrying but more something he is concerned about when giving birth.  But I am just freaked out and want to get more information before my appointment with a specialist.  Any advice or positive thoughts would be appreciated for this nervous first time mommy!
