[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 2118375, member: 160151"] Thanks for your reply, I have refused fragmin on these grounds, I asked for an alternative but there wasn't one and was advised to drink plenty of water and exercise! I was shocked because that should be the 1st thing they advise... they are still trying to get me to take fragmin! They tell me I'm going to get a blood clot and die, but then in the next sentence they're telling me I could bleed to death after I give birth... it is illogical to me that I take something to stop my blood clotting if I know there is a chance I could bleed to death... (FYI they only say this because I have more than 3 children.) The other hospital didn't offer fragmin because they said it wasn't needed for my care, they also supported my diet and taught woman to eat low carb in a group session and really celebrated with me the fact that I was doing well. Unfortunately I only have myself to advocate, my husband is needed to take care of the kids and I don't really have anyone else. He's going to come tomorrow just because it's getting ridiculous. Hopefully they will back off a bit. [/QUOTE]
