Although having Factor V Leiden doesn’t mean you CANNOT have a successful pregnancy, it is helpful to understand whether you might have this gene to ensure that you and your doctor know and develop a healthy plan to ensure that you can bring your pregnancy to full term.

Most women don’t know they have it. It’s a simple blood test to identify it. Once you know, you can take precautions on long flights (to reduce blood clots) and trips where you are sitting for longer than 3-4 hours, plan a healthy pregnancy (if that is what you want) and more.
