Blood thinners

Not the same brand but both pregnancies I have taken Dalteparin (another blood thinner). I start at 9 weeks and take them until 6 weeks post partum. They’re not fun, I won’t lie. Find somewhere on you that works for you, I find stomach a lot easier than legs but some will say the opposite. Try not to over use one particular place as you will bruise and have a certain amount of scar tissue under the skin that will make it sore too. They can be sore when you release the liquid too but it’ll pass after a couple of minutes. Other than that, I don’t have any side effects or reactions, they just become something you have to do each day and I suppose you just get on with it. Good luck with them; if you have any issues, the maternal medicine teams are a great help x

I have to do the 80 mg twice a day, since I got pregnant. It’s not fun now that I’m in my third trimester, and my stomach is a bit harder to see the places I can inject, but overall I feel incredibly better about taking it than not because of my PE history as well. The bruises aren’t fun, but overall it’s minimal if any pain. I find icing the area immediately after injection for 5 min minimum reduces any bruising, and pain. I also make it part of a routine so I don’t forget. I know some find it easier lying down but I find it easier standing. My biggest annoyance is the amount of waste it produces. Just know you’re not alone.
