I get annual thorough physicals.Ten years ago, I h ad a c-section. Five days after I developed bloodclots (2) in my right leg, which after 3 days broke off and traveled tomy right lung (pulmonary embolism). I placed back in the hospital andtreated wit h TPPA, then released after 5 days. At that time I wasplaced on 5mg of coumadin for a period of 6 mo nths. I have had no otherproblems. I have had no other blood clots.I deeply want another child ( I o nly have one). I am the same weightthat I was 10 years ago, and in good health. I have been tested t o seeif my blood was positive for clotting disorders and the test wasnegative :) Is the probability very high that I would have anotherpulmonary embolism? My OBGYN suggested I be on a heparin pump the entirepregnancy, is that really necessar? Does that pose a risk to my unbornchild? Please, give me your opinion. I am collecting as many aspossible. Thank You Dearly.
