10 Causes of a Miscarriage
Cause #6: Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a condition where the immune system produces antibodies that cause blood clots. It can be dangerous as the clots can occur in the kidneys, brain, lungs, and legs. In pregnant mothers, it can lead to stillbirth and miscarriage.
Some of the symptoms and signs of antiphospholipid syndrome are clots in the legs, recurrent miscarriages, stillbirths, transient ischemic attack, stroke, and more. Treatment with anticoagulants such as heparin can reduce thrombotic episodes and improve the prognosis of pregnancy.
