Lovenox is in pregnancy category B meaning that studies in animals showed no evidence of teratogenicity or fetotoxicity. Lactating mothers should be cautioned when receiving Lovenox. Several small studies have shown that the use of LMWH in pregnant women was safe. However, there are no adequate and well controlled studies in this patient population.
