[quote=Anonymous]I have antiphospholipid syndrome. I didn’t know it during my first pregnancy (thankfully there were no issues) but I had a massive DVT when she was a newborn and was subsequently diagnosed. For my second pregnancy, I switched from warfarin to daily lovenox as soon as we started TTCing. Once pregnant I went to my normal OB/GYN as well as the MFM that they had referred me to. Everything was going smoothly. Then early in the second trimester, the OB decided my case was “too risky/complex” and sent me off to Georgetown, who handled the rest of my pregnancy and my daughter’s birth. I was on lovenox for a month or so following the birth, then they handed my case back to my hematologist and I went back on warfarin. The most important thing is to be on lovenox not warfarin, and you will get some extra monitoring during the pregnancy. For me, everything went smoothly and it really wasnt a big deal. I hope that is the case for you as well. I was shocked when my regular OB said they weren’t going to handle the pregnancy/birth, but I was happy with Georgetown so it all worked out. If you have any questions I’m happy to answer. [/quote]
