Pregnancy and Lupus:
Most women with lupus can have a baby if they wish to, but it’s important to discuss your plans with your doctor before trying to get pregnant. Your treatment may need to be adjusted.
It is always best to plan a pregnancy when lupus is in an inactive state to reduce risks and complications.
