Questions regarding Hughes Syndrome?

Question

I can not walk correctly, or well at all. My hands don't really work all that well...and sometimes my speech. Why is this, if it's a blood disorder? Also, I"m 4mths pregnant....I know the risk is high and I've lost four times before. Would there be signs that the pregnancy isn't going well?

Answer 1

You been to contact your doctor and discuss this with him/her. They should know of your condition and be able to help you


Pregnancy problems
One miscarriage is a disaster. Two is worse. Imagine the suffering of women who have 3, 5, 7 or even 12 pregnancy losses, and sometimes as late as the last few weeks of their pregnancy.

We now know that Hughes Syndrome is the most common treatable cause of recurrent miscarriage: depending on which study you quote, the figure is up to 1 in 5. Furthermore, late pregnancy loss, fortunately an unusual problem in pregnancy, is very strongly associated with Hughes Syndrome as is pre-eclampsia, placental abruption and intra-uterine growth restriction.

For the sake of a simple blood test, patients with miscarriage or late pregnancy loss can be tested for Hughes Syndrome. Treatment of these patients has proved one of the true successes of modern medicine, the successful pregnancy rate rising from a previous low of fewer than 20% to figures now in the region of 75-80% success rate. Treatment is with low-dose aspirin and/or heparin.

Answer 2

Women with the syndrome are at increased risk of miscarriage because the sticky blood can't get through the delicate small blood vessels to the baby growing in the womb.

Although the exact sequence of events isn't yet clear (and may vary from woman to woman, pregnancy to pregnancy), without adequate nutrients the placenta fails and the baby is lost. Miscarriage typically occurs in the second trimester (second third) of pregnancy.

Unfortunately, some women suffer six or more miscarriages before Hughes syndrome is diagnosed and the appropriate treatment given.

If you are getting proper treatment you stand a better chance of having a successful pregnancy.

Answer 3

I don't know anything about disorder myself, other than to say that health is a tricky thing and nothing works like it should it seems. I would say for pregnancy any heavy pain or blood would be a bad sign...I'll pray that you can have your baby though !
