A member asked:
If you are on anticoagulants during pregnancy how do they prevent major bleeding during delivery? wouldnt u bleed to death if your blood is thinned?

Not coumadin (warfarin): I presume you're NOT taking coumadin/warfarin which is absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy. I presume you must be on a low molecular weight heparin? It should be stopped as soon as labor begins. It will wear off in 8-12 hours and and can be reversed if necessary.
