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

[Beach Mama]

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.
