Just been diagnosed with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.  I'm 31
yr-old female.  I lost my last baby to pre-term labor at 25 weeks (he
lived 4 months)--caused by severe pre-eclampsia, caused probably by
this APA.

What does this APA mean to me long-run?  And, I want to get pregnant
again.  Am already starting the baby aspirin.  OB says will need
heparin or prednizone when pregnant--had someone else tell me I should
get the shots before, too.  

Have so much to learn about this.  Am not a doctor, tho I feel like
one after what we went through with the short life and death of our
son.  Can someone please help me get more information about this
condition???
