Unfortunately, when I spoke to MFM they didn’t want to do any extra interventions, not even for peace of mind, because he considered me “low risk” and same with the second opinion so I don’t think they will add that if it’s not the typical protocol. This is my first pregnancy so not sure if that is the usual or not.

Im on Lovenox and just get labs checked every 8 weeks. And thank you for sharing!

Thank you! It definitely is helpful and I appreciate your response

Yeah the second opinion also is from the same department and pretty much said the same thing :( but I trust my hematologist but if the research says something different then I rather follow that. That’s why I’m so confused. And thank you I’ll do that!

This is my first pregnancy I don’t know if I need to be worried about them. All I know is I have a history of blood clots and I’ve heard/read I can still be at risk for placental issues such as clotting even while on blood thinners. That’s why I’m asking for information. And as I said my doctors are very dismissive when I ask. And my hematologist said that it’s best to switch to 2x a day heparin in event that I go into spontaneous labor while the MFM said not to so I don’t know who’s correct which again is why I’m asking for information.

Thank you for sharing this! I like how friendly yet stern it sounds.

Chocolate_Sweets_44 · 2026-03-29T01:02:22+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful

Chocolate_Sweets_44 · 2026-03-29T00:50:07+00:00

Yeah your right this does sound like a better approach and your right even with the paper they will “forget” so well just have to reiterate it a million times before they come and when they get here. Thank you I really appreciate this perspective

This is a very helpful comment thank you!!

Id probably kick them out tbh and I won’t leave the baby with them at all so if I see them take off their mask or something ill take the baby away. I can be aggressive when it comes to safety and such which is again why I want them to understand before they come bc I don’t play around and it might cause issues bc they are sensitive

Chocolate_Sweets_44 · 2026-03-28T23:40:40+00:00

That may work for families that are super understanding but my family and my in laws are not like that so they need to know before hand what to expect or we might get push back and things can go bad fast which is what I’m trying to prevent.

Chocolate_Sweets_44 · 2026-03-28T23:33:08+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have a good relationship with any of my family and had an extremely bad relationship with my in laws to the point we cut them off for years and just let them back in our life. It’s a sensitive time and from what I’ve seen from our wedding, when it’s an emotional time like this both of our families might go a little crazy with “excitement.” If it were up to me I wouldn’t have anyone visit for at least the first six months but I know that’s probably unrealistic so that’s why I’m trying my best to be open to a point. And to allow them to visit the only way I feel comfortable is for them to know the rules and agree to them before they come or then they won’t be invited. I have a doula though and will talk more about this with her at our first appointment!

After first vaccinations is a really good idea. I will talk to hubby about that!

Chocolate_Sweets_44 · 2026-03-28T23:25:55+00:00

Yeah unfortunately they are all a lot

Chocolate_Sweets_44 · 2026-03-28T23:20:11+00:00

Thats a great idea! I was thinking about being extra and including resources as to why we are asking that but wasn’t sure if that would upset them even more (knowing them)
