8. Pregnancy complications
Women with antiphospholipid syndrome are at a high risk of recurrent miscarriages and stillbirths. In fact, of women with recurrent miscarriages, roughly ten to fifteen percent are diagnosed with this condition. In general, almost half of pregnancy losses associated with antiphospholipid syndrome occur in the first trimester.
The antiphospholipid syndrome has also been associated with other pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia (high blood pressure), placental insufficiency, premature delivery, and neonatal complications.
