Lupus

Hello to everyone! I'm new here. I'm currently almost 10 weeks pregnant. I'm high-risk because I have Lupus and I've had 4 miscarriages. I've NEVER been this far along and feel really great about this pregnancy. I'm currently taking 200mg of progesterone three times a day and I was seeing my doctor every week. I think that's now going to be every two weeks, but we'll see what they say at my next appointment.

Wonderful news! I hope your pregnancy continues to go well! I have Crohn's which is a different autoimmune, but still has some of the same meds. I took the progestrone too I think it is really key! GL!

I also have Lupus and this is my third pregnancy and we hope to carry to term on this one.  The other two my water broke early, which some doctors say is from Lupus but who knows.  Do you still take meds for your Lupus?

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. No, I'm not currently taking any lupus meds. Hopefully that will continue. I know they say they're safe for pregnancy, but I would rather not take anything. I don't even like taking tylenol while I'm pregnant unless I absolutely have to.
