I am a mother of 2 boys with severe Haemophilia A. Coming from a lineage of 3 carriers, I still was surprised when my first son was born because my great grandmother, grandmother and mother were never diagnosed. Also between them 13 sons had died. My first son had 7 blood transfusions in his first 8 years as there was no treatment in my country. As a mother of two bleeders with presents with easy bruising one should think of bleeding disorders in me, but Luke most women NO. 2 years ago I decided to have a factor assay done and found out I have 32% of FVIII activity. That changed my life as I now know why I bruise easily, have this heavy bleeding at childbirth and how to handle myself.
