Hi there, I am usually on life-long (maybe... long story) warfarin but for TTC and PG have been switched to 40mg Clexane injections by my haematologist. I am expected to be on it for the whole pregnancy and possibly after birth for six weeks (although I may be switched back to warfarin, again long story with two haematologists that can't agree about what do to with me. I am on the Clexane to keep me alive rather than the baby, although I believe as a I am a Factor V Leiden carrier my baby is at risk without the Clexane as well.

I am meeting with my new OB next week but before then I would love to hear any stories about how the pregnancy and especially the delivery went. I know I am "high risk" and realise that I will likely need more intervention than I would otherwise want but on the other hand I don't want to get railroaded into things I don't need either, so it would be handy to hear some stories to give me a baseline.

Were you induced early for a predictable labour?
Did you have to get an epidural? (I don't want one!)
Did you have an "elective" caesarian?

Any stories would be most thankfully received.
