Lovenox injections once bigger?

[jamer]

I know some people were also on Lovenox injections here so I thought id see if I could get any insight. I'm doing injections 2x a day now and I'm 29 weeks. I'm getting to big to do in belly so it's more of the "love handle" area. However my boobs are too big now so I cant see what I'm doing. My husband is not comfortable doing the injections so I'm literally having him hold my boobs in so I can see. Anyone else struggling? When he's not home I'm trying to use a mirror but its still difficult. Any tips?

I've also been moving down into the love handle region - I don't even feel the stick there. My husband has been giving me the injections from the get-go since he gets a better angle than I can. My boobs have always been large and in charge and in my way when attempting to try it on my own. Glad I'm not the only one who has this problem!

My husband started off squeamish about giving me the shots too, but the nurses walked him through. I'd recommend scheduling your next OB appointment around one of your injection times and bring him with you. Or give him an old needle and an orange so he can practice.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm not much help either - I'll be 29w this Friday and am
still able to reach ok. I've always done the area of fat over by hip bones, though. Is that what you mean by love handles?

And lolol at my h helping by giving me the shots. Just watching me makes him squeamish!

Also, not sure if a maternity sleeping/nursing bra would help with the boob situation? I always put mine on as soon as I get home and it seems to keep them contained a bit better than my regular daytime bra that has cups and underwire. I can see over them much better in that bra than a regular one.
