Pregnancy and haemophilia

Women and girls can bleed, and pregnancy needs a plan written before delivery day.

Carriers and women with mild haemophilia

Factor levels change in pregnancy. A woman who felt well before may need monitoring near delivery. An obstetrician and the haemophilia centre should share plans.

Newborn boys from haemophilia families may need testing after birth. Arrange that before labour so nobody improvises.

Heavy periods and prior bleeds

Heavy menstrual bleeding is a symptom worth testing, not a secret to hide. Bleeding after childbirth or surgery likewise.

Treatment options depend on factor level and disorder type. Only the specialist team should choose them.

Genetic counselling in plain language

Families want to know what chance a future child has. Answers depend on whether the mother carries, has haemophilia, or the father is affected. Ask the centre for diagrams you can keep.

Support from NHS

The Society connects women to information and advocacy. You can call the office without sending private records by email first — staff will explain safer ways to talk.

This page is general information from Nepal Hemophilia Society. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. A bleed, a head injury, or bleeding after an accident needs urgent hospital care. Ask your treatment centre before you change any treatment.
