Blood clot and labour

[Littlekaty49]

I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my lung at 35 weeks and started on clexane injection twice a day. I am now 37 weeks and not sure if they will induce me or give me a section date, stop my thinner. Midwife hasnt been the most helpful and eaiting for an appointment for the consultant.Has anyone else had this through their pregnancy that can offer any advice?

I’ve just come past your post and now find myself in the same position.. any advice?

I was given an induction date and was told to stop my thinners 24 hours before going in. As it happened I didn't get induce as I was already dilated but as soon as I had my baby I was given clexane and then was prescribed them again after. Few weeks after birth I got a phonecall from hospital and I asked them to be put on tablets rather injections and because I wasn't breast feeding I was able to. I was on these for few months and then was told to stop.

Hope this helps

Thank you so much, it’s such a worry. Glad it all worked out fir you. I’m just 26 weeks so have a long way to go xx

Yeah it really is a worry. I just kept on at them about it because I was so worried. I gave birth in Jan and have a scan next week to see if it has gone

Can I ask what your symptoms were x
