Coumadin and pregnancyFrom: Jerry R. Rowe MD (md2b99@yahoo.com)Fri Jan 14 10:20:17 2000
I need some advice from other medical professionals on a subject. My step daughter is 21 and had a congenital defect in her heart repaired 3 years ago. She now needs a replacement of her mitral valve with a mechanical one. She is conserned about not being able to have children and has found several internet articles and chat areas that talk about women having successful pregnancies while on coumadin. Therefore, I have three questions I would like to pose. 1. Is there an absolute contraindication to pregnancies and coumadin therapy? 2. What are the possible consequences of a pregnancy with a mitral valve replacement. 3. Could she use sq hepain/lovenox while pregnant? Thanks;

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
