I'm 37 and in my 36th week of my first pregnancy. My ObGyn said I have a genetic blood clotting issue that's affecting the baby's growth she's small at 2.25 kg, and I even lost 2 kg last week. They prescribed daily Innohep 450 injections to help, but I'm worried since I'm planning a C-section. Could this medication cause excessive bleeding during surgery?

Yes, Innohep (enoxaparin) can increase the risk of bleeding, including during a C-section. It's a low-molecular-weight heparin, a type of anticoagulant, meaning it prevents blood clots but can also make it harder for the blood to clot. Because of this, it's crucial to discuss this with your ObGyn and surgeon.
