Possible Hughes/AP Syndrome? Or just a hypochondriac?

[May67]

I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant, had some problems with bleeding early on but none since 10weeks. I have a 3 year old daughter and had no complications during that pregnancy, she was born at 38 weeks weighing 5 12. To my knowledge I haven't ever had any miscarriages.

I had a blinding headache on Friday evening which lasted until saturday night and had weirdly bad circulation all day saturday, my feet went completley purple at one point. I was a bit freaked out so rang the doctor out of hours service who said not to worry and only to ring back if the purpleness didn't go away or the headache got worse. I googled (bad bad bad I know) and have discovered Hughes syndrome. I know it sounds terrible and like I'm fishing for something to be wrong with me but the symptoms are scarily accurate. I've always had bad circulation, migraines, daughter was born early with a low birth weight etc I'm terrified that I'm about to get a huge blood clot or miscarry.

I will feel like such a nutter if I go to my GP and explain how I've convinced myself I have a disease which I probably don't. Does anyone know if I would have been able to have a normal pregnancy if I had APS? Any advice would be helpful.

it would have been difficult for you to have had a normal pregnancy but not impossible,

headaches are common in pregnancy due to hormonal changes,

if you had aps you would probabally need treatment to get pg/stay p/g,

some people only every have aps in pregnancy where others it affects every single day,

could the circulation be the way the baby is laying?

even if you go to the doctors, all they can do is a blood test to see if there are any signs of aps,

if you feel axnious maybe ask the doctor,

i must say though that bloods are often different in pregnancy so the tests may not show you much anyway,

i am NOT a medic or a doctor but i have been tested for aps
