@ClaireTF Hello ClaireTF, thank you for starting this discussion!
Hello everyone, how are you doing today? 
How was your experience getting and being pregnant? Did you experience any complications due to your lupus? Or on the contrary, did it not have any impact at all on your pregnancy? Feel free to share your story here, we're all here to help one another!
Take care,
Courtney

@ClaireTF Hello Claire, this is such a great question. I had my first child before I was diagnosed and everything went relatively well. With my second I had my diagnosis, and I had asked my GP before conceiving about the risks and things and he advised me to wait until my lupus had been under control or in remission for at least six months before trying. I had a miscarraige before finally being able to conceive. Lupus pregnancies are usually classed "high risk" because of the risk of preeclampsia. I had lots of follow-up and more appointsments than with my first as they wanted to make sure that everything went well, and it did. I hope this helps you!

Hello all, my husband and I are thinking about starting a family together, but I'm worried about my lupus as I've heard that it can pose a huge risk or can cause infertility. I'm not sure if maybe adoption would be a better choice for us. Can anyone share their experience with getting pregnant with lupus?
Thank you so much xx
