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.

I've got two reports showing issues in my uterus and I'm really worried. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other options? Also, what are the chances of recovery if it's stage 1?

Issues in the uterus can sometimes be treated without surgery, especially in early stages. Non-surgical treatments like medication or uterine artery embolization might be options. Stage 1 conditions generally have a high recovery rate with the right care.
