APS Pregnancy: Repeat Treatment Next Time

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome & Future Pregnancy 🗣️ “If a woman with antiphospholipid

antibody syndrome had a successful pregnancy on treatment—does she need the same treatment again?”

👉 Yes—most of the time. APS is a persistent condition, and a prior success

doesn’t mean the risk is gone. It means the treatment worked. ✨ For the next pregnancy:

• Low-dose aspirin • Heparin (LMWH) —usually the same regimen that led to a live birth.

⚠️ Treatment may only change if there’s a new clot, new complications, or higher risk factors.

🩺 Bottom line: A successful APS pregnancy is a reason to repeat the same therapy,

not stop it. 📌 Always plan pregnancy care with your reproductive immunologist and your OB.
