Has anyone who has taken Clexane throughout their pregnancy had a caesarean? I am on it as I have 2 blood antibodies and have now found out that I have a low lying placenta (fingers crossed it moves) but just wanted to know if the Clexane can cause any complications?
Hi my love yes I have been on clexane & my baby was born via c/section.
Clexane is short acting so usually it's ceased for 24- 48 hours prior to section. However, that will depend on your condition.
Good luck my love - I hope your placenta rectifies & you don't need to worry about the c/section... :hug:
Thank you, I don't know anyone that has been on Clexane before and my OB started to scare me a little! Yes fingers crossed (and everything else) the placenta moves I'm only 26 weeks so there is still plenty of time
Thanks Again :hug:
Hi Jessie,
Not sure if I can be much help, but for the first 20 weeks of my pg I was on heparin due to antibodies preventing me from getting pg. I was on asprin all the way through. Initally it was thought that I would be on heparin for the entire pg. Before it was decided that I could stop the heparin, my ob discussed the pros and cons of heparin and clexane at for different stages of the pg. I know he did think that I could go heparin, then clexane for the mid section then back to heparin, as I got closer to term, as the effects of heparin can be easily reversed in an emergency situation. Maybe talk to your ob/specialist about your concerns and options that you might have and the pros/cons of them.
In the end I stoped the injections at 20wks so did not have to contemplate the issue, but I do understand that it is an added stress. In the end I had to have an emergecy c-section while still on asprin (at 37wks 4 days). The anetatist (sp) went through the extra risk of having a spinal block for the c-section due to the higher prob of bleeding into the space that they put the injection because of the asprin, vs going under a general (which still has a slightly higher risk of complications due to the asprin) and gave me a choice of what I wanted to do...I wish I had been able to/thought to/pushed to have the conversation with my ob/an anetatist when not stressed about my baby and after a few hours of unproductive labour! In the end (eg after 30 secs of thinking) I had the spinal and the emergency c-section and all went well. I hope that makes sense:doh:
Hope that your placenta moves and you dont need an emergency c-section, but also push your ob to have the 'what if' conversation if you need to!
Good luck.
