Anyone taking Lovenox during their pregnancy???

[YvetteY]

If so...please advise.  I am currently having to give myself injections in my belly and it is really starting to hurt, not to mention my belly is all bruised up and looks awful.   I am aobut 7 weeks along and I don't know if I can take it much longer.   Can anyone recommend other sites for the injection besides the belly or the belly the only place?????

Hi there,
I now have an 8 month old and during my pregnancy w/ him gave myself Lovenox injections 2x/day....keep w/ it. My tummy is fine now (well, too darned fat, but aside from that) and now more bruising and no worse for the ware. My advice regarding the pain is to pinch the flesh a bit; inject, pinch a little, inject, pincha little. I don't know fi this "really" helps, but it seemed to with me. They say not to rub too much as you'll bruise more, but I didn't seem to, but then I decided that it was winter so who cared!

In the end, I'd do it all over again. It'll be over before you know it, so stick with it!

hey girl,
my stomach looks the same way...covered in bruises...I was told that I had to put my heparin shots in the belly...Is your needle really short and thin?  It doesn't hurt unless I try to give it in an area that is already bruised...
