Lupus

Destinee

I was diagnosed with Lupus last week, I’m also currently 17 weeks & 4 days pregnant. I now have to see a high risk doctor and give birth in a bigger hospital with a better NICU…the baby could get a heart block due to my Lupus which means if the baby does have a heart block, he/she will have to get a pace maker put in after they’re born. I’m just super scared. I’ve been in a lot of pain also. Even while I feel baby move. But I can’t even eat without being in pain, I constantly get flare ups in my back and my ribs. Any advise from other mommy’s who struggle with this as well, I’m open to it.
