I am really concerned about how rough it will be. Firstly, I am worried about my age. Secondly, I want to try to do this drug free, is that possible?
Thirdly, I want to know if any of you have had easy pregnancies. I've heard too much about the difficulties so I need some positive stories to balance out things for me in my head.
I have had Lupus since I was 21, right after my second child was born. I am now 30, will be 31 in April. My little man, Aiden, is now 3 1/2 years old. He is my 1 and only lupus baby lol. My pregnancy with him was pretty easy. I had to have lots of ultrasounds and check-ups since it was considered a high risk pregnancy due to my Lupus. I really had no problems at all. I was in the hospital for the night twice while pregnant, but I believe it was due to having sex, not my lupus lol. I had contractions after having sex and spent the night there getting them to stop. Aiden is a healthy 3 year old. He was born weighing 7.8 and 20 inches long. I continued to take my prednisone and plaquenil, with doctor permission, throughout my whole pregnancy.
