protein s deficiency

[Pat]

Hi,there
I'm new to this website too. I saw your two posters and I have the same problem. Hope we can go through this horrible and painful experience together with each other's help. I had two miscarriages in 2007 and the potential reason was protein s deficiency. I have no kid yet. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and so worried I will miscarriage again. I will have an ultrasound in week 7. After that, Doctor will put me on Clexane. I have been having 100mg Aspirin since early March. Does anyone know will Clexane cause harm to feotus? I?m worried the injection will cause bad effect to baby. Are you in Australia? I?m in Perth. Hope we can keep contact and support each other. Many thanks!

Hi,
I have been told by my physician that Clexane will not pass through the placenta, where as warfarin will harm your baby in the frist trimester only but is safe there after until approx. week 32 where clexane is preferred due to easily reversing the affects during birth. I am in Brisbane. I hope all is well. Kylie

PAT.....I was also told that clexane wont cross the placenta... I have had 2 healthy baby's while on clexane plus this bubs. I wish you all the best Pat yes it would be good to have the support from others as well with the same condition. I am in NSW...
KYLIE... Oh that doesn't sound to good there it sounds ike you have been through a hard time....and yes clexane is horrible.... I find maybe 1 out of hmmm 20 don't hurt lol...

Have either of you been on Warfarin?
I would really love to have a 2nd child but am really concerned at the risks I may be taking. The pain I have had over the last 3 months has been excruciating and being in hospital several times with a newborn baby has also made it very hard.
My physician thinks I may have had post-partum pre-eclampsia.

i have only been on clexane through pregs and hepran for 6 weeks after bubs is born

My physician thinks I may have had post-partum pre-eclampsia.

I have never heard of postpartum pre-eclampsia... Did you Dr say if you had more children that you would be more likely to have this happen again?

No less likely only .5-1% chance if medicated throughout my pregnancy. But still very scary as I almost died with the clots in my brain.
How did you find out you had Protein S Dificiency?

Hi there, I am very new to this too and hope this all works and Im pressing the right buttons. I also have Protein S Deficiency. I Lost my first baby at 22 weeks at the time noone knew why. When I fell pregnant with my 2nd I was put onto a Private specialist through King Edward Memorial Hospital (I am in Perth) his name is Dr Craig Pennell, he specialises in complications not just an obstetrician. If it wasnt for him I wouldnt be the mother of a beautiful and healthy 2 yr old girl. At 16 weeks with my daughter a heomotoma developed and it looked as if we were going to go down the same road as with the first but Dr Pennell put me straight onto Clexane and Asprin and within 2 weeks the signs were all good and my daughter is here and healthy and he assured me that the Clexane does not do any damage to foetus whatsoever. I had never even heard of this condition before seeing him. With my first pregnancy I had a whole range of issues but noone seemed to pick up on any of this so I am so thankful for being put onto Dr Pennell.
