I was on innohep from week 6 and for 6 weeks after the birth. I had had a pill induced PE previously too. I had no complications (apart from trying to inject myself in the bum when you've got a huge bump!). I had my daughter by elective c section at 38 weeks due to previous lung problems. My daughter is a happy, very healthy and very normal 18 month old. Don't worry, as someone said before the stress of it will do more harm than the injections!

I'm on Clexane daily injections which is Enoxaparin 40mg, I've been on them for over a month now and will be right through to six weeks after the birth.

Other than bruising at the site of the injection, I've not experienced any problems with it. The injections do not cause the bleeding you are describing, to my knowledge. I would suggest a visit to the EPU to see if they can scan and reassure you.

As for delivery options, you can't have an epidural within 12 hours of taking Clexane but if you feel yourself starting labour you just miss the injection that day.

Hope all goes well for you.

Ah I know that feeling - trick is to go in with the needle very quickly but once in, press the button down very slowly. When I say go in quickly, I literally stab mine in like a dart and 9/10 times it doesn't hurt and neither does it bruise. The times it stings or bruises is when I hit a blood vessel and you can't predict that so its pot luck really. I'm used to mine now but I didn't really have a problem with needles to begin with, but had never actually injected myself before.

I am so glad baby is well - thats fabulous news for you. This bleeding lark is sent to try pregnant women isn't it!

Best of luck and hope all goes well.

I am now going through the same thing. How did everything work out for you. I am very nervous. Don't know if I want to risk possibly having another clot. I have a 3 year old at home to consider.
