I just found out that i'm pregnant with my eighth child at 32 and i have lupus. I've been taking different pain meds since then diagnosed with lupus. as now I'm five weeks pregnant and am very concerned of what meds i take. I take Plaquinil for my lupus and I've been taking Tramadol for for pain. I have asked numerous Dr.'s if I should stop taking them or continue. Some say yes to continue and some say stop it. What do I do? Do I continue taking Plaquinil for my Lupus and can I still take Tramadol for my everyday pain I have while I'm pregnant? I just don't want to hurt my baby in any way.
