if you continued intralipids well into first trimester, like until 9/10 weeks, why? what Dx?

Cost isn't that much of an issue, it just doesn't seem medically necessary. Is the risk of miscarriage after 8 weeks heartbeat any higher until 12 weeks than after? Like he said "because of first trimester and getting past miscarriage realm." I've never had a miscarriage past 5 weeks.


Well, again, it's the what-if scenario. Would you rather do it if it's not medically necessary, or always wonder if it would have made a difference? Everyone has a different risk threshold.


for this reason I will probably just suck it up and do it until 12/13 weeks, and then be done.
