Antiphospholipid syndrome following healthy pregnancy

Is it possible to have developed antiphospholipid syndrome after having a healthy pregnancy and baby?  I have a 15 month old baby.  My pregnancy was healthy and my baby weighed 9 lbs.  In the last 6 months
I suffered 2 miscarriages.  Is it possible that these miscarriages were caused by APS even though I have had a successful pregnancy, or can I rule out APS as a cause of my miscarriages?  I also wonder if inherited thrombosis can also be ruled out as a cause of my miscarriages due to my previous healthy pregnancy.  Would it be possible to have an inherited coagulation disorder and have had a healthy pregnancy?  We are trying to determine what tests we should do in trying to determine a possible cause for my micarriages.  My mother had an unexplained stillbirth.  Thank you.

yes it is possible my first pregnacy I had healthy twins that are 5 now. Now my second pregnacy with my third child I had him at 30 weeks but he is doing great he is 6 months now and thank god everything is good with him  I developed a blood clot in my neck and found out I have antiphospholipid syndrome I am taking blood thinners and trying to get rid of this blood clot. I hope I helped doctors say I just got lucky with my first pregnacy that no blood clots formed.

Thank you Laura. My apologies everyone - I did not mean to tag this with "seizure disorder".
