1. Q1 VTE Prevention- A 30 years old primigravida reports to the Booking Clinic. She had Deep vein thrombosis 2 years ago, and received anticoagulation for 6 months afterwards. She has no other medical conditions. Her BMI is 24. There is no history of any major surgery. Will she need thromboprophylaxis during or after pregnancy?

A. Thromboprophylaxis is required if she is admitted to the hospital

B. Thromboprophylaxis is required from 28 weeks and will continue for 10 days postpartumum.

C. Thromboprophylaxis should be started immediately.

D. No thromboprophylaxis required

Antenatal thromboprophylaxis for those with previous VTE should begin as early in pregnancy as practical.

Women with previous VTE should be offered prepregnancy counselling, and a  prospective management plan for thromboprophylaxis in pregnancy should be made. Those who become pregnant beforemreceiving such counselling should be referred at the earliest opportunity in pregnancy to a clinician
with expertise in thrombosis in pregnancy.
