Some women don’t lose their babies because of bad luck...
They lose them because their own blood silently turns against them.
🩸 Congenital Thrombophilia is a hidden risk — an inherited tendency for abnormal blood clotting that can cause heartbreak over and over again.
When tiny clots form in the placenta, they can block oxygen and nutrients from reaching the baby, leading to:
Unexplained miscarriages (especially after 10 weeks)
Intrauterine fetal death (IUFD)
Stillbirths
Severe preeclampsia
Placental abruption
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
It’s not just bad luck.
It’s biology.
🧪 If a woman has had multiple pregnancy losses, or a family history of thrombosis, or previous pregnancies with IUGR or severe preeclampsia — it’s time to investigate.
Because yes — there is something we can do.
💉 With proper management — low-dose aspirin and preventive anticoagulation (like LMWH or Clexane) — many women with thrombophilia go on to have healthy, full-term pregnancies.
And in IVF cases, we usually start treatment even earlier.
🌸 A story I carry in my heart…
She had lost three babies, all in the third trimester.
She came to me after the second loss.
I advised her to start Clexane in the next pregnancy.
But she didn’t.
The third pregnancy ended in tragedy again.
Another IUFD.
That was when we pushed for answers.
🧬 We found Protein C deficiency — a form of congenital thrombophilia.
This time, she followed the plan.
Clexane. Monitoring. Commitment.
And this time… life won.
She gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Today, she sent me his photo — 8 weeks old, peacefully asleep in her arms.
She said:
"Thank you for helping me not give up. You gave me hope when I had none."
🫶 Not every pregnancy loss is unexplained.
Some just haven’t been explained yet.
And sometimes, one test… one decision… one doctor…
can make all the difference.
