How and why is blood coagulation different postpartum vs.pre-pregnancy?
Homework Answers
Ans) Blood coagulation in Postpartum & Pre pregnancy: Clotting factors that increased during pregnancy tend to remain elevated during the early postpartum period.
- Giving birth stimulates this hypercoagulability state further.
- As a result, these coagulation factors remain elevated for 2 to 3 weeks postpartum.
- This hyper-coagulable state, combined with vessel damage during birth and immobility, places the woman at risk for thromboembolism (blood clots) in the lower extremities and the lungs.
