Pregnancy

Round Rock, TX

My husband and I have decided we want to start a family. I have an appointment with my rheumatologist tomorrow. What are questions we should be asking? We will be first-time parents. All I have ever been told is that I need to be on birth control and We need to plan the pregnancies. Any information will be useful and much appreciated.
