Hypercoagulability in pregnancy is the propensity of pregnant women to develop thrombosis (blood clots). Pregnancy itself is a factor of hypercoagulability (pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability), as a physiologically adaptive mechanism to prevent post partum bleeding.[1] However, when combined with an additional underlying hypercoagulable states, the risk of thrombosis or embolism may become substantial.[1]
