Deep vein thrombosis in pregnancy

I was also sorry to read of your problems with your first pregnancy. How disturbing for you, at what should have been a totally happy time. Congratulations now.You will certainly be very carefully monitored, I am sure: the sort of treatment you will be offered will depend on your Health Authority Area, and also on any individual Consultants. You certainly may be given some medication, but this may not be Heparin, until near the end of your pregnancy.

You may, as you mention, be induced before your due date. The paediatric team will also be certainly involved at the time of the birth, if not before, in view of the past problems.Steroids may not always be the treatment used, before your baby’s birth. Other agents are available. I hope that all goes well.
