The best thing I can do for you, is to send you medical papers from your own country, at least then you can track down some of the names if you need more help: hindawi.com/journals/crim/2...

[MaryF Administrator in reply to Navshad]

If you are wanting to try and have a baby an obstetrician with full working knowledge of the disease would be a good idea and later on a rheumatologist. MaryF

Hi there, I am the same as you although I found out about APS after I fell pregnant and had another blood clot. I was referred by my GP to an Obstetrician who specialises in high risk pregnancies as well as a haematologist. So far I am 30 weeks pregnant and both baby and I are healthy. I did need to move from remote Australia to a big city to access a tertiary hospital to ensure baby and I get the care we need come birth.

Whilst my case was rare where I had been living, now I'm going to a big city hospital I am one of many pregnant women with APS.

Wishing you well
