Keen - I was on clexane until I became allergic (a very rare side effect) and most of the literature indicated it had been found safe in pregnancy. It has a short half life (short duration of effect in the body) but there has not been enough numbers to rule it as safe to use in pregnancy. To my knowledge there are no adverse outcomes for the baby and it is usually ceased on the day of delivery (if natural) with no additional bleeding issues for the mother. Deb (Flowerchild) also had a reaction and has been on fragmin but she will also be able to give you details.
I was on daily clexane shots from 31-36 weeks pg and had Riley at nearly 38 weeks(induced for high blood pressure nothing to do with clexane). He was fine and weighed 8lb 3oz. My ob said they like you to be off it before giving birth as they won't give you an epidural if you are on it and they don't like to do a c-section either.
