A member asked:
My 15 year old girlfriend has had dvt and is taken warfarin. can it make our baby have birth defects if we have one in at least 5 years time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, Warfarin current: use will not have any effect on a pregnancy expected in 5 years, but Warfarin during pregnancy has been associated with some birth defects and is contraindicted during first trimester and near term due to potential for bleeding. Heparin does not cross the placenta and could be used if anticoagulant is still indicated at that time. Until then, use birth control. Best wishes.
