Suggest Blood Thinners Which Can Be Taken During Pregnancy
I have a friend who is pregnant and has a blood mass at the base of her neck, she's had surgery once but it's come back and the doctors want to put her on a blood thinner, but she's a month pregnant. Is there any blood thinners that are safe for her and she won't harm the baby?

she can take low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) during pregnancy. this will not cross placental barrier thereby preventing any side effects to foetus.
