A lady has approached me with the following question.  Her baby is due at 
the end of January.

   Hello, hoping I could get some opinions on the following matter.

  I had a deep vein thrombosis, in my calf at 12 weeks of pregnancy and 
have been taking Clexane since then.  I am due late Jan 2007
  My obsterician has flagged the idea of an induction (somewhere around 38 
week mark) so that I can time stopping the medication with the birth.  Her 
concern is I will bleed too much otherwise.

  I would like some help on the following:
  what would be some good questions to ask the specialist to help weigh up 
my options for birth eg to induce or not and other related matters eg relative
  risks
  Are you aware of mothers that have given birth whilst taking Clexane and 
what the outcomes have been.
   
  Thanks for your responses, I will forward them on
  Jenny

Re: [ozmidwifery] deep vein thrombosis in pregnancy and birth

2006-12-06 Thread Jo Bourne
The message I got as a consumer when taking clexane was that whether  
to stop at 36-38w and wait for labour or whether to be induced 24 hrs  
after stopping depends very much on the severity of the condition  
that requires the clexane in the first place. I stopped at 34w.  But  
this really should be a case by case decision I would think. With  
more severe problems the concern is to get you into labour as soon as  
the anti coagulant is enough out of your system to be safer but  
before it is too far gone and you introduce other risks...

You could try looking on the SA perinatal practice guidelines on the web
(not sure if there is a relevant guideline), and also ringing a hospital
pharmacy to see exactly how this affects blood clotting, how long it remains
in the system and what alternatives (if any) can be taken.
