Pregnant with Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Lea878917]

I was wondering if any of you ladies have rheumatoid arthritis while pregnant and how is it affecting your body during pregnancy...I am 8 weeks pregnant and have officially been weened off of my prednisone I was taking for the rheumatoid and I just don’t want to be in pain for my pregnancy?? Thank you for any help!

Mine went into remission. Hopefully it will be the same for you. It took me until the second trimester though and came back with a vengeance afterwards.

I have a different type of autoimmune arthritis and mine went into remission during pregnancy. It came back with a vengeance at about 3 months pp sadly but it didn't take too long to come back under control with meds.
