just wondering who had blood thinner injections after their cesareans and who didnt.?

[sassymummaof2]

Thanx, guys

must just be something some doctors choose to do do or not , on the safe site it seems like it should be given ,

im thinking maybe i was given it with my first cesarean, as the doc didnt think i would be up and about straight away ,
where as with my second one which was done very early am, i was moving only cpl hours afterwards, hence me not having to have it prehaps.

i have never worn the stockings though , or had a machine massage my muscles.

thankyou all for replying, it has given me some reason as to why i had it once and not the other,

kind regards sarah

I have no idea what it was but they gave me shots in the thigh each day that I was there and told me it was for preventing clots. I didn't have stockings or massage - massage might have been nicer!

I'm pretty sure I didn't have either for my first c/s, but for #2, I had the stockings and the clexane injections for 5 days.

I had clexane 2 times a day for 5 days.

Where I work all emergency cs, all larger woman, all smokers, all woman with past history of DVT or pulmonary embolus get clexane.
