When I was 10 weeks pg with dd2 (who is nearly 2) I had a blood clot in my leg and had to inject myself with heparin every day until just after dd2 was born (then switched to warfarin).
I had to see a gynaecologist last week (not related to clot/pg), who mentioned that if I did try for another baby, I'd have to inject myself with heparin from a very early stage in the pg. Does anyone (eg gp, midwife) have any experience of this? I asked my gp about what would happen if I did get pg again some time ago, and she said they would "wait and see" how the pg progressed rather than get me injecting with heparin straight away. Have to say this concerned me at the time (how long would they "wait and see" - until the DVT had reached my heart or lungs?!) but let it pass as dd2 was only tiny and wasn't thinking of any future children!.
Just wondered if anyone else had experience of pregnancy after DVT?
