I have a healthy 2 year old boy! I had a preconception appointment first so that I could adjust my medications before trying to get pregnant.

My friend has 4 children. One is blind because she had a flare-up during her pregnancy. The other 3 did not have any complications. Many women with lupus have children that are healthy. Proceed with caution as in any pregnancy. Make sure you'll be able be in a low-stress environment throughout and have a nurturing support system. Discuss it with an OB/GYM and educate yourself on the possible complications. It's important to be healthy on the onset, so if you do decide to get pregnant make sure all your blood work and levels are normal. Consider adding some vitamins and supplements to your diet, exercise and eat healthy. I think stress is a critical factor and having help if you need it. Sounds kind of like having a training regiment to have a baby, but the healthier you are the easier it will be for both you and baby. I'd say it's good advice for anyone planning a pregnancy, not just women with lupus. Hope this was helpful to someone.

I had three pregnancies. I had my first child, a son. He was born healthy and my pregnancy went well. However, afterwards I hemorrhaged a lot. I miscarried a baby girl at 4 1/2 months. I then had my third child, a healthy baby boy. However, I hemorrhaged a lot afterwards with him as well. Years later I found out I have Antiphospholipid. I would get a test to see if you have APS if you are thinking of getting pregnant. While I was pregnant I always felt wonderful, better than before or after being pregnant. Hugs and prayers. God bless.

I have 3 healthy children. I was on 120 mg of prednisone when I got pregnant with my 3rd child. I was immediately placed as high risk. I had a cesarean for all three. Talk with your doctor & ogyn . They will help you a lot.
