I can understand why the doctor has done this and I would support that... Clexane on board during labour can cause catastrophic bleeding. Ceasing the meds or decreasing them will leave her at risk of a potentially fatal clot in her or perhaps the peril of her child.
I had chosen an induction for Imogen at 38 weeks for this reason - as you know fate had other plans...
If she has a diagnosed clotting disorder and has required anticoagulant therapy for her pregnancy there is no way I would be advising to cease or decrease. The risk whilst it may appear low is an unknown.
She would cease clexane and then 24 hours later hve the induction and she would need ted stockings during labour and clexane is usually continued for a few weeks later...
Being the mother of 6 Angels and given what happened with Imogen - I would not personally be happy with a reduction in clexane.
