Blood Thinners & pregnancy?!

Question

Has anyone here, given birth after a pregnancy of taking blood thinner injections?? I’ve been in lovenox for a week and it just hit me how my labor will be affected by it lol. Any ladies have any experiences they’d like to share?

Answer

I’m on Lovenox too. The plan is to switch to heparin a few weeks before the dues date because it’s only 12 hours acting instead of 24.  I assumed that’s so that you can stop administering once you begin labor. I am asking at my next appointment what the risks are to coming off of it altogether. I guess the risk now (I’m at 24 weeks) is that I might get a blood clot. Originally it was prescribed to prevent miscarriage.

Answer

I haven’t, but there’s a chance I may be put on them in January. How have you been able to cope with giving yourself injections? I hate needles, but I’ve heard the needle is very small?
