I've been injecting Fragmin from 28 weeks pregnant due to high BMI and being over 35 as a precautionary measure.
I had a blood test last week through my midwife which has shown a platelet count of 95,000 and that indicates thrombocytopenia. At my two previous blood tests my platelets have been normal.
I've been told to continue my injections until I see my consultant next week but I'm so worried about excessive bleeding in labour etc that I haven't injected for 2 days. I'm 37 weeks pregnant today.
I was told not to inject if I felt like I was getting contractions because of the 12 hour rule of administering Fragmin and not being able to have local anaesthesia.
I feel crampy pretty much all the time just lately so that's another reason I've stopped because I don't want to not be able to have an epidural if I feel like I need one.
Anyone have and experience or advice with this? I'm worried about blood clots obviously even though I've never had one before and I have no family history of them.
Thanks in advance
