[QUOTE="azure, post: 936236, member: 39639"] Janey, I know a number of women who have taken Clexane in pregnancy for varying lengths of time. None of them had retinopathy though. I think that's the key issue in your case and I can understand why it's worrying you. Have you spoken to your consultant about these worries? If you're uncertain about their advice, you could ask for a second opinion. Be assured they'll monitor your eyes carefully in pregnancy to check for any changes anyway. The risk of pre eclampsia is slightly higher when you have diabetes. I was prescribed aspirin to take every day to reduce the risks of this, and I know other women here took aspirin too. However, as you've had it before, you should be monitored more closely and anything out of the ordinary will be picked up early. Yes, that first ante natal appointment is scary with all the different people there! But I found it reassuring to get the extra care. Ask as many questions of your team as you want. They're there to help and reassure you. I used to take a list! Congratulations on your pregnancy :) [/QUOTE]
