Lovenox shot locations - pg mentioned

dukercook · 04-22-2009, 09:53 AM

I have been giving my shots in the stomach, but as a pregnancy continues I would like to have a non bruised stomach and with little wieght gain I tend to have very little extra skin. Has anyone done the shots in the legs?

Hi dc,

Dh used to do mine the fleshy area of the thigh. He would rotate from thigh to thigh and just find spots there. At one time, I also did them in the fleshy upper arm area (you know the granny "wings"

).

HTH,
Pecan

Did your doc tell you that you could do that?

I did them in the thigh for awhile too. It's totally fine.
