A member asked:
Which type of specialist would i see if i've had 2uedvts and want to get pregnant? on warfarin for life, need prescription for heparin.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A perinatalogist. : A perinatalogist takes care of women with very high risk pregnancies which is what yours would be. You also want the doctor taking care of your warfarin involved. It would be helpful to do a consult visit with a perinatalogist prior to pregnancy to make sure you are informed of the risks and have a plan in place for when you get pregnant. Good luck.
