 Hello everyone, I am Dr. Frishan Bhakma, consultant rheumatologist and clinical immunologist at Malathi Manipa hospital, Jai Nagar Bangalore. Today we will discuss about pregnancy and rheumatic diseases. We know most of these rheumatic diseases affect women with a child pain gauge where pregnancy is an expected outcome. Earlier women with these serious autoimmune disorders are advised not to get pregnant. But now with the advance in the treatment and utmost care by rheumatologist and an obstetrician, most of these pregnancies can become successful pregnancies. So it has been seen that if the disease is well controlled, for at least 6 months prior to pregnancies, most of these pregnancies have a successful outcome. If you are suffering with an autoimmune disorder or a rheumatic diseases and planning to become pregnant, please consult a rheumatologist for a successful outcome.
