Pregnancy & RA
Hello all,
I recently (just this past weekend) found out I am pregnant 
which I could not be happier about! I have read and even was told by my doctor that when women with RA become pregnant, they go into remission. Does anyone know when this remission comes around? I am estimating that I am about 6 weeks along.
Please let me know!
Valerie
hey there, Valerie...and Congrates!!! What a wonderful time for you.
Well, when I got pregnant with my last daughter, who is now 2, I didnt go into remission. Actually, it was worst than what it was before. I was not one of the lucky ones, but REMEMBER that does not mean this will happen to you. I guess most women do go into remission.
The Rheumy said to wait until your 3 months along, and that is when your RA should go into remission, if it dont then, well, most likley you will have the RA for the 9 months.
What ever your out come is with your RA, remember what you get at the end...A wonderful baby! There is nothing like it. Stay stong, and take one day at a time.
And hopefully, your RA will go into remission, and never come back...
please keep me posted. Good Luck jenmik
