VTE IN WOMEN:
A HEALTH RISK
While everyone is at risk of developing VTE, pregnancy is tied to an increased risk of developing a blood clot. Women are especially at risk for blood clots during pregnancy, childbirth, and up to three months after delivery.
Risks for developing
dangerous blood clots
increase during pregnancy
and up to 3 months
postpartum.1
PEs account for ~10% of
pregnancy-related deaths
in the US.2
Combined oral
contraceptives increase
the risk of VTE by 3x.3
Compared to women who are not pregnant, pregnant women are:
5x
20x
more likely to
have a blood clot
during pregnancy2
more likely to have a blood
clot in the 3 months
after giving birth2
WHY DO PREGNANT WOMEN HAVE A HIGHER RISK FOR BLOOD CLOTS?
Several factors increase a pregnant woman’s risk for a blood clot.
  • The primary reason for the increased risk of VTE in pregnancy is hypercoagulability. During pregnancy, the blood clots more easily to reduce blood loss during labor and delivery.
  • A growing baby presses on the blood vessels around a woman’s pelvis, causing less blood flow to the legs. This usually occurs later in pregnancy.
  • Extended periods of inactivity or immobility can cause blood to pool and slow blood flow, such as during bed rest or while recovering from childbirth.

WHY ARE BLOOD CLOTS DANGEROUS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN?
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the number one cause of pregnancy-related death in the United States.1Blood clots can also harm an unborn baby by restricting blood flow throughout the body.
How can I protect myself
from a blood clotduring pregnancy?
  • Become familiar with the signs and symptoms of blood clots.
  • Consider elevated risk factors for pregnant women, such as a C-section, long periods of being still, and complications during childbirth.
  • Consult with your doctor about family history of blood clots, reducing your risk, and creating a blood clot prevention plan.
AS YOU PREPARE FOR BABY, DON'T FORGET TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
A woman is at increased risk for a dangerous blood clot throughout her pregnancy, during childbirth, and up to three months after her baby is born. When you take care of yourself, you take care of your developing baby too.
