how does antiphospholipid antibody syndrome cause miscarriage?

Question

Answer 1

Autoimmune: Apl syndrome is an autoimmune disease in the same general catagory as lupus. It causes abnormal blood clotting , and attacks the body to disrupt normal funtion. Not only does it affect early pregnancy but women's spllens have been removed during a pregnancy to try to keep from pg loss. You need expert maternal-fetal doctor care before and during the pg!

Answer 2

Follow instructions: No matter what you do, there is always a risk of miscarriage following these procedures. Most doctors who perform them will tell you to limit your activity for 24-48 hours after the procedure. Make sure to follow all instructions you are given to minimize the risk of miscarriage.

Answer 3

Choose wisely: You really can't minimize the risks of these procedures, though you can choose a perinatologist that does these routinely. Certainly at 46, it would be strongly recommended that you undergo genetic counseling and testing. Remember, at 46, your risk of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality is much greater then the risk of amino. Best of luck!

Answer 4

Listen: Offer sympathy and understanding. Avoid cliches, platitudes, or judgments. Sometimes saying nothing, just being there and listening is best. Let them know it's ok to grieve. Each of us will go through the process differently and take a different amount of time. Frequently everyone forgets dad, but he's hurting and trying to be strong for his partner.

Answer 5

Be there for her: Miscarriage , can be very stressful.See what she need and be there for her by word and action.

Answer 6

6-8 weeks: Your body should technically be healed from the surgery in 6-8 weeks. Make sure you have emotionally and spiritually healed from your loss, which usually takes longer. Some research shows that spacing your pregnancies out to 2-3 years is better for the mother and child. That may not be practical in situations of loss or older prospective moms.

Answer 7

Several answers: We usually think it takes about 6 weeks to complete the postpartum time to normal. So, then you could try again. Some studies suggest that waiting a year may improve the pregnancy outcome but if you are older, then your fertility is lower. I have just given you a range of 6 wks to 1 year. I suggest a discussion with your physician to decide what time works best for you. Sorry about loss :(.

Answer 8

Immunity: Having IgG antibody to rubella indicates that you have developed immunity to the virus either through prior exposure or vaccination.

Answer 9

+ IgG for Rubella: A + IgG for rubella virus means that you've either had a previous viral infection or that you have been immunized against the virus. In either case you have developed immunity to this particular virus, and being exposed the virus in a future pregnancy should not provide a risk to you baby. Rubella in pregnancy poses a significant risk to the fetus in early pregnancy.

Answer 10

You Are Immune: Igg is the long term antibody that protects you against bacteria and viruses. If you are IgG positive, you protected from getting a rubella infection.

Answer 11

Immune: You have immunity to rubella most likely because of a vaccine you received as a child. Therefore, you cannot get rubella which can cause serious problems for the fetus.

Answer 12

No: There's no data to suggest that emotional stress increases miscarriage rate. Many women are stressed at various times, and when a stressed woman miscarries she tends to think it was because of the stress - but there isn't any data to confirm this as a cause. There is really nothing a woman can do or not do to cause a miscarriage, short of taking a pill for medical abortion.

Answer 13

Yes: They have found out that emotional stress may cause miscarriage.
