Can anticoagulation keep dvt away in pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Helps: There is no 100% guarantee that anticoagulation will prevent DVT during pregnancy. There is no reason to be on anticoagulation unless you have had a prior dvt, are a high risk pregnancy or are hypercoagulable. Certainly the imput of your ob/gyn and either a vascular surgeon or vein specialist would be important.There are many routine things to do during pregnancy to prevent DVT such as supp hose.
