“I realised that something was wrong when Jose started getting mysterious bumps and bruises on his hands and knees as soon as he started crawling, On several occasions, I had noticed a little blood on his tongue while breastfeeding him but assumed that he had just bitten himself.

Haemophilia, which mostly affects males, can also affect females but is much rare in females. It is a hereditary, life-long condition that is passed from mother to child. People with the condition suffer excessive bleeding, even from a tiny cut. Sometimes, the bleeding does not stop without some form of intervention.
