My sister had dvt with her two children, although not during pregnancy but right after birth
Mw thinks I might be at risk, will this stop certain things like being able to use the birthing pool, etc?

I had a DVT (years before I got pregnant) and as a result I was on Clexane injections throughout pregnancy until approx 8 weeks post. I had 2 normal vaginal deliveries and could have got in the pool if I wanted to. The only risk was that if I had my injection within 12 hours of labor no epidural . Timed it perfectly both times Grin. Had and an epi with DS1 but not DS2 (he shot out so fast I didn't have time)

Good luck!

Thank you! I'm really hoping for a water birth so its good to hear that its still a possibility. Plus I'm not planning an epidural so that's all good too
