    No, but my dad has it (finally diagnosed after quite a few clotting episodes -- DVT and PE).  I have also had a DVT but test negative for this (go figure).  I have been on Lovenox (now switched to heparin) throughout pregnancy due to the history of clots.

    Yes I have it. It's also called clotting factor 2 gene mutation. The only change that I have to make is I'm on lovenox during my pregnancies. Other recommendations are those for a healthy lifestyle like exercise, stay at a healthy wt, don't smoke, healthy diet.

    I have it. I had been on Lovenox and switched over to heparin last week. I will then be on coumadin for 6 weeks after delivery. Same thing will happen if I get pregnant again.
