Pregnancy & RA

I was wondering if anyone else is dealing with RA or anything similar during pregnancy?

 I was recently diagnosed (last fall), and my rheumatologist told me that the RA would go into remission once I was pregnant.  I'm off my meds at this point (I was still only on prednisone because he didn't want to start me on anything else since I was planning on getting pregnant, and having the disease go into remission would make it hard to see if another drug was working), but today I've been getting some not great feelings in my fingers.

 How have other people dealt with this?  Were you off your meds the whole time?  Did you find that the "remission" came and went?  If you've already had kids, did you have a bad postpartum flare up?

    There's someone on the SAIF board that has RA and also had twins. I don't remember her talking about it during her pregnancy, but I am pretty sure she had a flare up in the first couple months of having the babies. Sorry you are dealing with this!
