Pregnancy with OAPS(Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome)

I tried to look for other mums who may have written down their experiences on the forum but came up with no results. I hope to write an ongoing account of my journey and experiences of my current pregnancy after being diagnosed with #OAPS. I'm still quite early into this pregnancy, only 6 weeks. I'm happy and grateful to still be able to get pregnant - the last few months of trying without success had me thinking that OAPS maybe affected my fertility as well. Morning sickness is here, same as last time; though it did come a bit earlier than before. I'm also feeling much more fatigued and stressed, haha. My first appointment with the gynae, I'm going back to the doctor who diagnosed me after my miscarriage, is next week. I'll probably be given a prescription for daily injections of aspirin or something similar. Will update more in the comments along the way!

hey all! just went for my first appointment w my gynae. im currently going to a specialist at KKH. my first pregnancy i was considered as a private patient and the fees were around $150 per consultant. i went back to the same gynae and she let me know that we'd have to have closer monitoring and i needed to see her and get a scan at AMC every 2 weeks, plus about $100 worth of meds every month! i was so scared that i wouldnt be able to afford the care my baby needed but Alhamdulillah the nurse informed me that im under subsidised care even though im seeing a specialist doctor because of the diagnosis. the total consultation + scan bill is around $85 dollars, so aga-aga the monthly cost comes out to around $300 or so

Hey all! Thought I would update after a few days of morning injections. For context, I've never had prescribed injections before (like insulin etc) and my only experience with injections were vaccines. Tummy injections are painful - the needle not so much, it's the medicine being injected that hurts. The pain lasts throughout the injection - sort of like a bad fire ant bite, and turns into a sort of pinching pain for a few minutes after. I'm really hoping I'll get used to the pain soon, here's to that!

hey all, i started to cramp and there was black discharge. im probably having another miscarriage..

These are the costs for them. If I'm not wrong, Enoxaparin and Asprin are categorised under Standard Drugs - which could be the govt. subsidy (hopefully!)

Jiayou! Wishing you a smooth pregnancy!
