Yes Tanya but a prophylactic dose will vary depending on the condition. 40mgs is usually seen as a prophylactic doseage and one that is generally given during pregnancy for queried or known maternal clotting disorders. (I was on this & I had my last doseage Friday PM and Imogen was born via c/section on Sunday 12Pm). I still bled significantly (I was still on asprin).

I am just saying from the perspective of a mother that has lost numerous babies due to an undiagnosed condition - there was no way I was going to risk a catastrophe - for me that meant I would be induced. I needed the controlled environment.

I wouldn't personally support the cesation of anticoagulant therapy - I would opt for a well informed induction. I am looking through different glasses I know...
