pregnancy and clexane

[lanabear81]

hi all,

i posted a long reply with my experience but clearly did something wrong..

i have APS too.. i was pregnant for the first time this year and my baby girl was born sleeping at 21 and a half weeks on the 5th August..

i have heard of people on clexane that have delivered healthy babies bailey so dont worry

my pregnancy was going well until i had a 19 week scan where the sonographer told me she was measuring small for the age.. knowing what i know now - next time i will be looking for this right away.. i have been transfered into the care of a sub-specialist for next time..

two things i have learned following my expereince..
clexane doses are given according to weight so as you progress in your pregnancy there may be reason to increase your dose - i wasnt on asprin and thats what a heamatologist at the hospital told me - so i would be asking your heam..

and secondly - fish oil supplements - see this site - again i'd be asking the medical people... Fish Oil Derivatives as a Prophylaxis of Recurrent Miscarriage Associated with Antiphospholipid Antibodies (APL) : a Pilot Study -- Rossi and Costa 2 (5): 319 -- Lupus

i have been taking them since moving back onto warfarin and its making a big difference to my INR and daily warfarin doses.. i've always been on 12mg (since 2005) and now im down to 10mg (hoping to go lower)..

my fingers are crossed for you all...

i see the specialist in a months time and i plan on TTC again once AF returns.. so will let you know if i learn anything insightful

hi again..

i've found another article - unfortunately i can only read the abstacts - i might have to head to the uni library and find the articles in full once i've got a list.. but the results are state on the abstracts.. is quiet promising for APS people..

hi lanabear81
so sorry to hear about your loss, i hope ur staying strong and looking to the future. so was u on clexane when u was pregnant or has it only been given to u now for ur next pregnancy. i was told the injections are the most important thing to take to stop any bloodclots forming in my placenta (has that was the reason for my loss) and the asprin is just another blood thiner to help benifit the baby?? goodluck with TTC
