I was on lovenox in the beginning of my pregnancy but take off due to not being at risk. Now they want me to go back on the blood thinners 12hrs after I have the baby. Im very confused because I was planning a home birth and my doctor that wants me on blood thinners is 80+ yrs old and tells me I need to be in a hospital to deliver at my apt last week and I was 35weeks. When I asked him why he said so they can blood transfuse me when I start to hemmorage after taking the blood thinners. Im terrified now that im going to bleed to death and wondering if any one else has done this and how they are making out. When I ask for statistics on taking the blood thinners vs not taking them after birth he just says you need to be in a hospital. That doesnt help me. This is my third baby and my other two were all natural no complications vaginal births with minimal bleeding after wards. Any advise or stories would help me alot.
