Aps

[Sarahjane11]

Hi I'm new to this group. I was diagnosed in 2007 with aps after I had lost my 4th baby . Iv gone on to have 4 beautiful kiddies . I'm now pregnant with baby no5 so I started my aspirin but I then had a very bad reaction to it and was in hospital for days I was so swollen it was unreal. So they stoped my aspirin and I'm now on heparin but I'm worried because with all my other pregnancies I was on both aspirin and heparin. As any of you ladies only ever been on heparin and all been okay with baby ect ??

Thank you x

Hi there, welcome and well done. I was on Fragmin only for all of my pregnancies and did well. It is important to be under a consultant who fully understands Hughes Syndrome/APS. Where are you located? MaryF

Hi I'm in England. I'm just worried because I was on both with my other four pregnancies and this one I'm only on tinzaparin 7,000 unit. I'm trying to see if there is something I can use to replace the aspirin x
