Lupus Anticoagulant and pregnancy

I have lupus anticoagulant right now, I am slao 4 1/2 months pregnant. Is this something I will have to deal with after my baby is born or will it go away??

Hi!
The lupus anticoagulant test is usually ordered if you had previous miscarriages, thrombotic events, biologically false-positive VDRL, a positive antinuclear antibody test, or doctors suspect that you have antiphospholipid syndrome or lupus. Usually the series of tests are repeated several weeks later to determine whether the lupus anticoagulant is transient or persistent (risen since the last test). If the levels rise, then chances of miscarriage, placental blood vessel thrombosis etc remain high. Pregnancies with persistent lupus anticoagulant will need to be closely monitored. Please discuss this in detail with your Obs and Gyn.
Take care!
