Re: Re Pregnancy and Heparin - Vee

[Guest guest]

Hi Vee,

Thank you for your kind words. I hope that your knee replacement went

well.

It sounds like Dalteparin (and therefore heparin) may not be as " bad "

as I had imagined.

I am hopeful that the heparin may work and allow me to carry a baby to

term in the future.

Thank you again for sharing your experience with me.

Lots of love,

Fay.
