Hi,
Thank you for choosing healthcaremagic. Your risk of future DVT will depend on complete evaluation of any THROMBOPHILIAS, ANTI-PHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY , ANA and most important risk of future DVT is previous history of stroke and epileptic. So after evaluation if the risk is less you can continue your pregnancy with heparin injections after consultation with your doctor.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answer kindly rate my answer and write a review as well.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
