Measure
Enoxaparin Once Daily
This arm will have patients randomized to receive 40 mg sub-cutaneous injection of Lovenox (enoxaparin) once daily. Enoxaparin: Enoxaparin will be given in either once daily or twice daily doses. One arm will receive 40 mg enoxaparin subcutaneous injection daily. The other arm will receive 0.5 mg/kg dosed subcutaneously twice daily. This medication will be started 8-12 hours after cesarean section and will be continued while the patient is admitted. It will be stopped at the time of discharge.
Enoxaparin Twice Daily
This arm will have patients randomized to receive weight based (0.5 mg/kg) sub-cutaneous injection of Lovenox (enoxaparin) twice daily. Enoxaparin: Enoxaparin will be given in either once daily or twice daily doses. One arm will receive 40 mg enoxaparin subcutaneous injection daily. The other arm will receive 0.5 mg/kg dosed subcutaneously twice daily. This medication will be started 8-12 hours after cesarean section and will be continued while the patient is admitted. It will be stopped at the time of discharge.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3.5-4 hours after the third dose of Lovenox (enoxaparin)

We will assess if any of the subjects has an Anti Xa level that is in the supraprophylactic range (treatment range).
