Anyone elses families worry more about meds than other pregnancy risks?

Question

I have lupus and my and little side conditions and symptoms will most likely cause miscarriage... but it seems my family is more concerned with me getting off the medication that is preventing miscarriage because... they think it's going to cause miscarriage?

Answer

It's a auto immune disease and it's sucks I have rheumatoid badly and I had to come off ALL my medication only cause I am a high risk pregnancy due to miscarriages and pre-eclampsia babies,  thrombosis and now I have had to take other medications to help but no where as good as RA meds. Have you spoken with your OB to see what they say?  Unless your family are doctors don't listen, listen to those who are trained in this area. Best of luck

Answer

I have lupus too! I had to have progesterone supplements in the first trimester. Now 19+4 weeks. It’s hard, but try to ignore your family and do what’s best for you and the baby. People, especially non medical people always seem to think they know the answer. I listen quietly and then do whatever I darn well think is best for me and my baby. How far are you? And how is pregnancy going for you so far?
