Question 5

what percent of people get blood clots during pregnancy that causes stroke or other complications? if i got no blood disorder am i low risk?

Accepted Answer

DVT pregnancy : Pregnancy is a high risk situation for blood clots in the legs (DVT). IF UNTREATRD DVT can cause the clot to travel to the lungs or a pulmonary embolism. This is a medical emergency. If you don't have a family history of blood clots or other coagulation disorders your risk for DVT is not too high, however higher than a non pregnant woman.  Pregnancy is in itself risk for blood clots.

Question 6

how much does your chance if blood clots increase during pregnancy? does a previous c-section make this higher?

Accepted Answer

A previous csection: Does not increase your risk and the risk for the average healthy women is low, risk is more right after surgery that is why for the 1st 24-36 hours sequential compression stockings are used to prevent venous stasis that could lead to blood clots until you are up ambulating.

Question 7

ovarian cyst during pregnancy causing lots of bleeding and some blood clots. how is this treated?

Accepted Answer

Not a cyst cause: In general, an ovarian cyst does not cause vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.  The usual causes would be an issue with the placenta, a growth on the cervix, premature labor, for instance.  You need to clarify with your doctor what the cause of the bleeding is to know how to treat.  However avoid intercourse, heavy lifting or exercise for now would be reasonable.

Question 8

if your healthy what are the chances of getting pre eclampsia or blood clots and dying during pregnancy or after giving birth?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: If healthy, and you eat well, keep active, take prenatal vitamins and have regular prenatal checks, while pregnant, you are not at risk for clots or pre eclampsia. Also, your chances of dying are about zero. Would you like to have a baby? Are you afraid? Looks like you have done some research. Why not talk to your dr about your concerns. Good luck to you. Dr. Mom.

Question 9

can women with no known blood issues take a aspirin a day during and after pregnancy to prevent blood clots?  i'm afraid of getting pregnant and clots

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Aspirin is prescribed for some very specific issues in pregnancy; however, its not recommended for general use.  In the first trimester, aspirin use is concerning for increased pregnancy loss and even congenital defects.  In the third trimester it can cause premature closure of an important vessel in the babies heart.   You shouldn't use it unless you are prescribed it by a doctor.  Best wishes!
