I have rheumatoid arthritis since few years and on medication. Now we want to start a family but im scared how it will affect conceiving and the pregnancy. Anyone here with arthritis who became a mom? would love to hear ur journey.
I have mild joint pain and I'm currently in my second trimester, sometimes I worry if it will get worse later. Has anyone else managed severe arthritis through their pregnancy?
You definitely can, but be practical about it. Get your blood markers checked, make sure your arthritis is in a stable phase, and trust your medical team.
Don't stress too much, dear! Many women with arthritis have very normal pregnancies. Just have a chat with your rheumatologist and gynac to coordinate your plan.
Of course you can conceive, but get ready to manage joint pain plus baby weight! Joking aside, make sure your doctor reviews your arthritis meds first because some aren't safe during planning.
Yes, absolutely you can! I know how overwhelming it feels to manage chronic pain while dreaming of a baby, but you are so strong and your dream will come true.
I have joint issues too, and managing that along with severe morning sickness was tough, but keeping myself hydrated and doing gentle stretches helped so much.
