  questionable..Antibody m Reply Contact So today I had my 30 week appt. which went okay. They did an ultrasound for the babies growth, Andrea is 4.4 and Andrew is 4.0 . Which i personally find to be kind of off bc 2 weeks ago. Andrea was 3.1 and Andrew was 3.4.. But I also know that it is just an estamation ..Then we discussed my antibody m. which is really confusing I have antiphosphipid syndrom which i treat with lovonox shots daily but i also tested postitive for antibody m. Which the drs seem to be confused about they will do one blood test and the antibody m will be positive and another one and it will be neg. very odd..Anyone have any thoughts on this.Anyeway im sure they will figure it out I see the maternal specialist on friday of this week..My weight gain has really slowed down but as long as the babies are growing im not complaining..

  Re: questionable..Antibody m Reply Contact I am currently 14 weeks pregnant. Three weeks ago my significant other and I were diagnosed with having Antibody E. It sounds like what you have is alot like what I have. I'm not exactly sure what the difference between the Antibody E and M are, because mine also attacks the red blood of the fetus. I'm sorry to bug you but I'm just curious about what the difference is between the two.

  Re: questionable..Antibody m Reply Contact hi, my name is Michelle and i am 21 Weeks pregnant with antibody C and G and i'm o neg .my boyfriend also carries these traits and he is o positive which if my antibodies detect that the baby i'm carrying has these traits it well attack the red blood cells. My antibodies are starting to go up so now i have to see the ultrasound lady once a week plus have my blood drawn. they told me today that its a slow process for the red blood cells to be attack. i'm scared of the unknown. if my boyfriend wouldn't have had these characteristic then we would have been find. from what the doctor told me we all have different characteristic in our blood and with me being o neg and having other children in the past one of the babies or even this one could have leak blood into my blood which cause my body to build antibodies. you should be seeing a specialist i strongly recommend it if your not. they can do a blood transfusion in the womb but not until I'm 24 weeks.. nerve recking i hope i help you a little, .. good luck talk to your Doctor and if they don't answer your question or send you some where to get the answer, get a new one.
