Clotting : Lovenox (enoxaparin) is used in pregnancy to reduce the risk of clotting. If there is a blood disorder that is causing clotting, it can lead to a clot and affect the pregnancy. Lovenox (enoxaparin) or Enoxaparin is used to try and prevent clotting and allow a normal pregnancy. Hope this helps. Usually used in patients with a hereditary defect that leads to clots.
