Hi Mina74

I had bruising to my thighs where the injections were placed which felt very sore. I also gained a lot of weight. I went from a size 8 to a size 22, I'm told that this does not happen to everyone. I too was constantly worrying and had lack of sleep. But Lupus is most active under stress you really must find something which you like to do to calm your nerves.
I also felt a burning sensation towards the end of the pregnancy with the injections which was a little uncomfortable. I would still opt for the heparin as the survival rate for babies born to women with auto immune diseases on heparin are higher that not using anything at all. My Dr's suggest that I must plan my next pregnancy and be on heparin for four months before I concieve. I also had Pre-eclampsia, which made me stay in hospital for three weeks. Everyone's pregnancy is different and everyone has different experience so don't think everything is going to happen to you. You need to think positive and you will have a beautiful baby at the end. Good luck and take care of yourself, try not to stress yourself out but, to enjoy your pregnancy. I know it's difficult but take it one day at a time. Best wishes Eves heart xx
