Lupus affects millions. Individuals whose lives have been greatly affected by lupus describe the suffering caused by disease and offer ways that you can help find a cure. With nearly 300 chapters, branches and support groups in 32 states, the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is the nation’s leading non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes and cure for lupus. Our mission is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lupus, support individuals and families affected by the disease, increase awareness of lupus among health professionals and the public, and find the causes and cure. Research, education, and patient services are at the heart of LFA’s programs.

It has been a common belief that women who suffer from lupus cannot become pregnant due to their health condition. This, however, is not completely true.  It is now thought that approximately 50% of all women with lupus who become pregnant can go ahead and have a normal pregnancy and deliver healthy babies. There are, however, the remaining women who may face complications and even lose their babies in the early stages of their pregnancy.

It is really important that pregnant women who have lupus should be carefully supervised by an obstetrician until the pregnancy ends to ensure that  the mother’s health is not diminished in any way and normal, healthy babies can be borne. Their doctors may advise them to adopt a special diet and lifestyle for the duration of the pregnancy, and very importantly, delivery must take place in a hospital, home births should not be considered.

Even though women in remission generally tend to have less health issues than women with active lupus, there are some golden rules that a pregnant woman with lupus should pay close attention to, including regular visits to their doctor, continuing with the proper medication, a healthy diet, no smoking or drinking, plenty of rest and also avoiding any over-the-counter medications that might endanger the baby.

Pregnant women with lupus may face certain symptoms during their pregnancy such as a lupus flare, rashes which can appear due to an increased blood flow in the skin, new hair growth during pregnancy and also severe loss of hair after delivery. Other serious complications that may occur to lupus pregnancies is the presence of antibodies which interfere with the function of the placenta with the possibility of blood clots hence exposing the placenta to high risks. Many lupus patients have an antibody known as anti-ro or anti-SSA which in some cases can affect the unborn babies, exposing them to a syndrome known as neonatal lupus. Moreover, in many cases women who suffer from a severe form of lupus have to pass through a caesarean section in order to save the baby.

It has been considered that most medications taken by SLE  patients are safe to use during the pregnancy due to the fact that they don t pass through the placenta and therefore the baby is not in danger.  If you would like to find more about lupus symptoms or more details about lupus treatments there are many good books on lupus and the latest findings regarding the disease can be viewed at the Lupus Foundation Of America.
