Hi Sle_remission ,

We have a guide to lupus and pregnancy which you can view and download on our website at lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

It should answer the questions that you have. If you need a physical copy of the booklet, send me a private message or email [e-mail] and I will pop one in the post for you.

Hi Sle_remission ,

It is in pdf format. Do you have adobe installed on your device?

If you send me an email at [e-mail] then I can send you the pdf by email, or if you let me know your postal address, I can send you a physical copy.

What type of device/browser are you using? I am unable to replicate your problem and have not had any similar reports. Have you tried clearing your cache?

The blog Despite Lupus by Sara Gorman tells her story of having her two children with lupus. You'd probably find it interesting. She was diagnosed 6 weeks after getting married.

Found out after i had my children, my kidneys are scarred. Only trouble i had was urinating after i delivered my daughter. They had to bag me...couldnt pee. I remember nurse telling me i wasnt that swollen after delivery. She seemed annoyed to catherize me. I didnt know i had anything at that time. This nurse made me feel bad. How awful. Regardless of whar her opinion was, i had a lot of pain because i could not urinate and needed it to be done. Second pregnancy i was ok. No problems.

Well, almost no problems. Lol! I herniated a disc during pregnancy. Joint pain and such. Felt like i had the flu after delivering her. But, all in all...was ok. You will be fine because you Know about your situation. I was also 36 and 38 years old when i had my girls. Take care!
