You are right though in saying that if you have your blood monitored to ensure it is not 'too' thin this will lower the risk. Bleeding into the placenta is just like bleeding internally. I am sorry to have not worded it better.
Its hard to compare the 'effectiveness' at stopping clotting btwn heparin and aspirin because they work in such different ways. Aspirin just makes the platelets less sticky whereas the heparin makes the environment less favourable for clot formation. So in this way both are as effective as the other however in combination they are very effective. Does this kind of answer your question??
I think its an excellent idea that you see the obstetrician who delivered Katelyn for you and ensured you had some tests done in the first place. I have no doubt that he will see you quickly. (The hardest thing in making any appointment with a doctor is getting through our secretaries, and my advice if they give you any grief is to ask to speak to him/her directly or leave your name and number to be called back).
I am happy to answer any question, any time so don't worry, and please let us know how you go at the doctors.
