Hi
I'm 33yo, currently 34w6d pg after IVF#4 and I have been diagnosed with MTHFR heterozygous C677T.
I got baby aspirin and 5mg folic acid up to week 32 (when I was in hospital with contractions and they feared they would have to do a c-section and stopped the baby aspirin). They changed my meds into fragmin shots (low molecular weight heparin once a day) -
so when it comes to delivery at the moment this would mean a 12 (or even 24hour, OB wasn't sure) window during which I couldn't get an epidural because of bleeding complications...so I probably will have to change again into a heparin that doesn't last that long and do the shots 3 times a day ...which will then mean an 8 hours window...It's a bit scary to know that there will be HOURS during which I can't get an epidural even if I want or need to....has anyone experience with heparin during the 3rd trimester and delivery under heparin?
Over here in Germany no one seems to know what exactly to do with me and my heterozygous state and they don't seem to have much experience, so any experiences would be much appreciated
thanks
Evi
