Rebecca, 39, suffered a massive stroke in her mid-30s that left her almost entirely incapacitated, although she recovered under the care of her doctors. The stroke was caused by a previously undiagnosed autoimmune disorder called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), which causes blood to clot more easily and can result in early miscarriages. Now that Rebecca is pregnant with her first child, her team of doctors must closely monitor her condition to ensure a safe delivery. To learn more about APS and other blood disorders, visit ASH's patient resources webpage hematology.org/Patients/.

I had two miscarriages,it was 7 years ago. I was feeling scared to have a baby again, but then I tried to find what had happened to the two baby and I found out that I have Aps.Anti Phospholipid syndrome. It made me feel bad about the past, it made me scared but now I have a chance to have a baby again by monitoring and medicine.😢

Though a percentage of patients with antiphospholipid autoimmune disorder have a tendency to form clots, it is error to define antiphospholipid autoimmune syndrome as a blood clotting disorder, as current research finds that percentage of patients with antiphospholipid autoimmune syndrome do not have the tendency to form clots and anticoagulants for such patients is contraindicated, if not dangerous.. In fact, APLAS has subsets. Some patients with APLAS have thrombocytopenia (a tendency to hemorrhage), some have both thrombophilia and thrombocytopenia, some have neither but have a history of fetal loss and premature births. Please See: "Nonthrombotic manifestations of the antiphospholipid syndrome: away from thrombosis?," Asherson, et al.

As someone with APS and SLE it is scary to think of what could have happened. I had PEs on two occasions (once in my last pregnancy which I didn't know about and was lucky to survive)! It is time awareness is heightened on these serious condition.

I'm 19 years old and have survived 2 PE's as well.. both undiagnosed as to what they were caused from. My hematologists were convinced it must have been APS, but those blood tests came back negative. More awareness needs to be made about these 'silent killers' however. Too many have been taken so suddenly.

I was just diagnosed with APS after a dvt. After finding this out, I was so scared about the miscarriages and pregnancy with this autoimmune disease

My wife suffers from aps, it was missdiagnosed for 7 years, and it has almost killed her twice (venus vien thrombosis and a deep vien thrombosis).

35yr old male here, had a PE in December '18 and my hematologist diagnosed me with APS. It's being recommended I stay on my blood thinner (Eliquis) for life.

Will not a Plasmapheresis before delivery reduce the risk of a thrombotic event(Stroke) during a medication-free delivery for such a patient?
