* [[Pregnancy]] is a thrombogenic milieu
* [[Coumadin]] use during 1st trimester associated with warfarin embryopathy
* [[Coumadin]] use in other trimesters postulated to cause CNS abnormalities
* Keeping [[Coumadin]] dose ≤ 5.0 mg/day appears safe
* Recommendations based more on opinion than scientific evidence

====[[ACCP guidelines classification scheme#Grading Scheme Classification|Grade 1]]====
'''1.''' Adjusted-dose, twice-daily [[LMWH]] throughout pregnancy in doses adjusted either to keep a 4-hour postinjection anti-Xa heparin level at approximately 1.0 to 1.2 U/mL (preferable) or according to weight ''([[ACCP guidelines classification scheme#Level of Evidence|Level of Evidence: C]])'', or
 
'''2.''' Aggressive adjusted-dose [[UFH]] throughout pregnancy: i.e., administered subcutaneous every 12 hours in doses adjusted to keep the mid-interval a[[PTT]] at least twice control or to attain an anti-Xa heparin level of 0.35 to 0.70 U/mL ''([[ACCP guidelines classification scheme#Level of Evidence|Level of Evidence: C]])'', or
 
'''3.''' [[UFH]] or [[LMWH]] until the thirteenth week, change to [[warfarin]] until the middle of the third trimester, and then restart [[UFH]] or [[LMWH]] ''([[ACCP guidelines classification scheme#Level of Evidence|Level of Evidence: C]])''
 
::''Remark:'' Long-term anticoagulants should be resumed postpartum with all regimens
 
====[[ACCP guidelines classification scheme#Grading Scheme Classification|Grade 2]]====
'''1.''' In women with prosthetic heart valves at high risk, the guideline developers suggest the addition of low-dose [[aspirin]], 75 to 162 mg/day ''([[ACCP guidelines classification scheme#Level of Evidence|Level of Evidence: C]])''}}
