Summary

This trial looks at how split dosing of Lovenox in pregnant women may reduce their risk of blood clots.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women aged 18 or older who need blood thinners to prevent clots and have a single baby in the womb. It's not for those under 18, with multiple babies, a history of bad reactions to heparin (HIT), or allergies to enoxaparin.
What is being tested?
The study tests if taking Lovenox three times daily instead of twice can maintain safer levels in pregnant women due to their body changes. The goal is consistent anticoagulation to reduce clot risks without over-thinning the blood.
What are the potential side effects?
Lovenox may cause bleeding, bruising at injection sites, irritation, and rarely allergic reactions. In pregnancy, it's chosen because it's less likely to harm the baby compared to other blood thinners.
