I am working with a client who has Factor V Leiden, a blood clotting disorder. She was on Heparin for weeks prior to giving birth, and was induced at term so her doctor could manage what her heparin levels would be at the time of birth. She birthed a 9#3 oz baby with only a little Fentanyl.
8 years ago, she had a massive breast reduction during which her nipples were removed and replaced. She now has full sensation in her nipples. The surgery was performed under her breast and she has significant scarring.
Her milk is in, although it is not sufficient. Baby lost a pound by time of discharge. She refused to supplement at that time. Now, two weeks later, baby is creeping close to birthweight. She did finally start supplementing this past weekend.
Mom is currently taking Lovanox.
I'm telling you this long background story to ask whether the following herbs or meds would be safe with Lovanox and Factor V Leiden:
Fenugreek
Goat's Rue
Malunggay/Moringa/GoLacta
Domperidone.
Thanks in advance.
