RA Remission in pregmamcy

[berrykkiss]

Hi, Is there anyone who got pregnant with RA and experienced remission? How soon does it go to remission? Does it start soon after implantation or does it take a while?

Thanks for replying. I dont know if I am pregnant yet. I was wondering if it goes to remission in the 2ww itself. Thanks anyways

Me, and many other women I know who have had children - but not all.

Gosh, it's been so long I don't remember how quickly it happened. I think I was so miserable with nausea and headaches that I've blocked it out. LOL

I do remember that I fell OUT of remission very quickly after I delivered both my children. In the case of my second child, within hours. :(  So enjoy it while you can, and do your best to manage stress and get plenty of rest after you deliver. Get help from family and friends if you need to - don't be too proud to ask!
