How early did you flare?

[KittenPaws]

How early in your pregnancy did your lupus/AI flare up. Im not DX'd and pretty positively pregnant (waiting 10 more days for test) but symptoms have been coming back full blast that have been dorment before and its worrying me.

Jes ,
I would believe everyone is different and every pg is different but here is my experience.

With my first pg I didn't have a flare until about 3 months after delivery. With my second pg I was about 5 months along and started having problems.

Jes,

I showed symptoms in about month two, with my third child. With my fourth child, I guess it was about month four or five. The first two children were before my lupus. I know pregnancy (and post-partum) hormones do have a tendancy to push you into a flare. Everyone is different though. Try not to worry too much. You can still have a very successful pregnancy! My babies were big ol' pudgies! Very healthy!

Good luck and let us know what your test says!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/goodvibes.gif
