Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zeng Hongbo of the Guangzhou Le Qisheng-Liu Xiangyuan Fetal Protection Team. Pregnant women with multiple abortions usually need to be given heparin to protect their fetuses after becoming pregnant again. So heparin to protect the fetus can generally be stopped in a few months? Here I would like to talk to you about heparin to protect the fetus.

What is the use of heparin in pregnancy?
After pregnancy, pregnant women take heparin primarily for anticoagulation purposes. Some pregnant women have had multiple fetal stops, miscarriages, and biochemical pregnancies, and in order to protect the fetus and prevent re-abortion, they need to take heparin.
If the blood is in a state of hypercoagulability, affecting the healthy development of the fetus, heparin can also be used to anticoagulation. In addition, when problems such as gestational hypertension, placental abruption, amniotic fluid embolism, etc. occur during pregnancy, heparin is also required to protect the fetus.
Can heparin be stopped for a few months?
Heparin is an anticoagulant that is usually seen in recurrent miscarriages during pregnancy, and various test results suggest the possibility of thrombophilia.
Heparin after pregnancy is used to prevent intravascular thrombosis, improve the blood supply of the endometrium, prevent endometrial microthrombosis, increase the amount of blood supply to the uterus, and reduce the risk of fetal arrest due to thrombosis.
At the same time, heparin can also regulate immune function, and has a fetal preservation effect on threatened abortion caused by autoimmune problems, lack of coagulation factors, decline or vascular damage.
Heparin to protect the fetus is generally about 12 weeks, that is, after three months of pregnancy can be stopped, this drug should be taken according to the doctor's instructions, do not use the drug and stop the drug without authorization.
Is heparin fetal protection bleeding normal?
Most pregnant women do not have bleeding, and a small number of pregnant women will bleed after taking heparin.
Because heparin has an anticoagulant effect, it can cause coagulation dysfunction in pregnant women and cause bleeding. If there is a small amount of bleeding, the body continues to heparin fetal protection therapy without abnormalities. If the amount of bleeding is large, you should go to the hospital in time for examination, and then follow the doctor's advice to examine the fetus to determine the next treatment plan.
During the period of heparin fetal protection, it is best to check the coagulation function regularly. If there is no problem with coagulation, heparin can be continued. If there is a problem with coagulation, stop using heparin.
