Question

I'm 37 and in my 36th week of my first pregnancy. My ObGyn said I have a genetic blood clotting issue that's affecting the baby's growth she's small at 2.25 kg, and I even lost 2 kg last week. They prescribed daily Innohep 450 injections to help, but I'm worried since I'm planning a C-section. Could this medication cause excessive bleeding during surgery?

Yes, Innohep (enoxaparin) can increase the risk of bleeding, including during a C-section. It's a low-molecular-weight heparin, a type of anticoagulant, meaning it prevents blood clots but can also make it harder for the blood to clot. Because of this, it's crucial to discuss this with your ObGyn and surgeon.

Question

I just read my ultrasound report and I'm a bit worried. It mentions something like "retained products of conception," and "small left ovarian simple cyst." Also, it talks about a "heterogenous endometrium" and some vascularity, but I'm not really sure what all this means. Could this be serious? There was also something about minimal fluid in the pelvis and no obvious wall thickening in the bladder. Should I be doing something about this or is it something that will resolve on its own?

Question

I've started using Thrive by LeVel and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm really wondering if it's okay to keep using it since my first prenatal visit isn't for another two weeks. One of my friends asked her OB, who said it's fine, but she's also promoting the product, so I'm hoping to get another perspective. Is it truly safe to use while pregnant?
