Abstract
35 pregnant women (37 pregnancies) were treated with subcutaneous and/or intravenous heparin because of acute thromboembolic complications (TE) or as prophylaxis against TE. 25 pregnancies were uncomplicated. The most frequent complication was incipient premature labor, which occurred in 7 women. Other complications were retentio placentae, twin pregnancies, ablatio placentae and minor hematomas. No serious bleeding complications occurred. The treatment did not seem to affect the children.
