In need of advice to keep my stress levels down

[katrinahug03]

I will be coming off my Fragmin injections in a couple of weeks and im worried about whats going to happen and if there will be any problems in the rest of my pregnancy. My doctors havent mentioned anything about weather or not i will be induced early or weather or not i will stay on some sort of blood thinning medication for the rest of the pregnancy until birth. I cant seem to stop thinking about it all and im terrified. My husband is trying his best to ease my mind but its just not working

Hello, the sooner you can see that doctor, and any nurse associated with them as well, and explain how utterly stressed you feel, the better. No doctor would want to leave any pregnant woman feeling that level of stress, if you can't manage to get through to the appointments quickly, ring the secretary of that doctor... and explain to him or her how you are feeling and that you urgently need to come back. I am sure it will be ok, and please let us know what they say, and perhaps where you are. We will do what we can to be supportive for you. Mary F x

If you have Hughes syndrome, why would they possibly want you to go off your Fragmin during your pregnancy??? Make sure you have a doctor who knows what they are doing (kind of hard to find for APS!) and can give you a very good reason why they want you to stop your Fragmin during pregnancy which is a hypercoagulate state.
