Hi ladies,
I am new on here and noticed that you had been talking about pregnancy and clexane. I have two healthy happy boys but both were difficult pregnancies. My first I gave birth at 29 weeks due to a torn placenta and about a week after birth I had attack in which they found blood clots (DVT's) in my legs that had broken off and traveled to my lungs. They put me on warfarin for 6 months after that.
Not knowing this problem would happen again I fell pregnant a long ten years later. At 10 weeks pregnant I had a mild heart attack in which they found massive blood clots pushing up against my heart and heaps in my lungs. The doctors said I was extremely lucky to be alive. I was admitted in to hospital for two weeks and put on clexane injections for the duration of my pregnancy. At 24 weeks I was back in hospital not feeling well where they found I was 6cm dialated.
I had complete bed rest and was put on a Heparin infusion until I gave birth. At 28 weeks my waters started to leak and at 29 weeks I gave birth. Both pregnancies were emergency caesarians due to complications.
I have had heaps of tests now and they still cannot work out why I have this problem during pregnancy. I have just been taken off warfarin again that I have been on for the past year. My husband and I are hoping to have one more baby (silly I know) but having three was always my dream. I have been speaking to doctors who have said they will put me on Clexane injections as soon as I find out I'm pregnant. It will be a high risk pregnancy but I'm hoping I'm fairly well monitored.
I would love to speak to other mums with similar experiences to me. Please no negativity as I hear enough of it. Positive thoughts will be greatly appreciated
