Abstract
#Pregnancy has been known to put women in a #hypercoagulablestate. This has been postulated to be the body’s #physiologicalresponse to the maternal’s susceptibility to bleeding risks during
the #antenatal and postnatal period [1-3]. Thus, pregnant women are
four to five times more likely to develop #venousthromboembolism
(VTE) [4], putting the incidence to about 0.71 per 1000 pregnancies
[4]. VTE is known to affect pregnant women from 1st trimester up
to post partum [5] with the risk of VTE being higher as the woman
progresses later in her pregnancy [6]. VTE in pregnancy is also more
known to affect the left lower limb than the right, with a weighted
event rate of 77.2% for left sided or bilateral lower limb deep vein
thrombosis and 21.5% for right sided deep vein #thrombosis [5].
