Expecting

A portrait of Lia Eustachewich, who is eight months pregnant, at her home in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn on October, 2017 in New York City, USA.

Eustachewich has Von Willebrand disease, a genetic disorder caused by the missing or defective clotting protein, Von Willebrand factor (VWF). When levels of functional VWF are low, blood platelets can't clot properly, leading to prolonged bleeding.
