Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zeng Hongbo of the Le Qisheng-Liu Xiangyuan fetal protection team. The fetal development is unstable in the early stages of pregnancy, and some pregnant mothers need to take heparin for fetal protection, so how long does it take to stop playing heparin? Here's an introduction.

What happens when pregnant should I get heparin?
Heparin is an anticoagulant drug that is widely used during pregnancy. So under what circumstances do pregnant women get heparin? It mainly includes the following aspects:
The first aspect is that pregnant women have manifestations of thrombophilia
Thrombophilia refers to the possibility of blood clots in pregnant women, such as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, protein C or protein s deficiency, for which it is generally necessary to start injecting heparin in the early stages of pregnancy, until about 36-37 weeks of pregnancy to stop.
The second aspect is that pregnant women have some special diseases
For example, if there is a history of thrombotic disease or after a heart valve replacement, anticoagulation should be performed to avoid the primary disease affecting pregnancy.
The third aspect refers to some obstetric factors
Examples include hypertensive disorders during pregnancy or amniotic fluid embolism. For this situation must be paid attention to, because heparin for the treatment of some of the relevant systems of obstetric diseases currently do not have an absolute indication, clinical use of the process, mainly for empirical treatment.
The fourth aspect is mainly applied to reproductive medicine
Heparin may also be used, especially in the early trimester, if immunosuppression is required or to improve implantation of the gestational sac.
The best time to protect the fetus and get heparin?
Heparin is recommended to try to play in the morning, regardless of the time node must be fixed for a time, because the metabolism and function of heparin has a certain drug concentration curve.
There must be a fixed time during the two uses of heparin to be able to exert the maximum effect, and if the interval between the two uses of heparin is long or short, it will affect the specific efficacy.
If you hit it in the morning, it is not easy to forget, and heparin can play the greatest role. However, whether to take heparin must follow the doctor's arrangement, so as to play the greatest role in fetal protection.
How long does heparin generally stop playing?
Heparin fetal protection is generally used for about 2 weeks, and the specific needs to be decided according to individual circumstances.
Low molecular weight heparin can treat habitual miscarriage or for fetal protection, and it will have an impact on liver function when performing heparin fetal protection, so liver function needs to be reviewed regularly to avoid adverse effects.
Heparin fetal protection has little effect on the fetus and is not prone to malformations or bleeding risks. However, heparin fetal protection is not widely used, generally will use progesterone for fetal protection, during the fetal protection period should pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a peaceful state of mind so as not to cause fetal protection failure.
During pregnancy, we should strengthen nutrition and eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins and trace elements, such as soy products, dairy products, fish and shrimp, fresh vegetables and fruits, and enhance physical fitness can also reduce the risk of miscarriage.
