Please call your obstetrician and check this out with him.....it probably has something to do with the Lovenox, but you need to be seen by your doctor to be sure...don't wait.Health Question & Answer
not likely, lovenox is a low dose blood thinner. bruising easily however is very common on this medication. If you are really concerned give your OB a call during office hours. Health Question & Answer
