How does having a protein s deficiency affect pregnancy?

Level decreases: The level decreases in pregnancy. Protein s and protein c are there to decrease the incidence of clots. If the level decreases, then clots can develop. In pregnancy, the level decreases and the chance of a blood clot increases. Hope this helps.
