The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate if we can use placental pathology in a prior pregnancy which had an adverse outcome, such as early delivery, stillbirth, a baby born smaller than expected, or severe forms of high blood pressure during pregnancy, to guide treatment in the subsequent pregnancy and reduce risk of recurrent adverse pregnancy events.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
In this clinical trial, participants will undergo consent, blood samples will be collected, and participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the enoxaparin or control groups at their first study visit.
Researchers will compare the enoxaparin group to the control group to see if enoxaparin prevents or reduces the occurrence or severity of maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) among patients with a prior adverse pregnancy outcome.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enoxaparin Group | Experimental | Participants in the enoxaparin group will be asked to take a dose of the enoxaparin once a day (40 mg daily) daily from 12 0/7 weeks and/or start of enrollment (whichever is later), and continue until 36 weeks gestational age, after which enoxaparin will be discontinued. |
|
| Control Group | No Intervention | Participants in this group will have standard care as usual, with no additional medications. |

| Lovenox 40mg | Drug | Enoxaparin is a blood thinner. It is approved for use in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in abdominal surgery, hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, or medical patients with severely restricted mobility during acute illness; inpatient treatment of acute DVT with or without pulmonary embolism; outpatient treatment of acute DVT without pulmonary embolism; Prevention of ischemic complications of unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction; treatment of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) managed medically or with subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention. The use of Lovenox has been shown to be safe, and it has also been used widely off-label in pregnancy. |
