Wegener's & Pregnancy?

[amann8506]

I'm sure you are out there, but I'm looking for advice on becoming pregnant. I am 30yrs old and was diagnosed right after a week in the hospital after Christmas 2011. I have a beautiful daughter who is now 3 and just wondering what kind of complications I should expect while trying for a second. Need a happy spot in my life at the moment - every time things go well, another issue come up with the Wegener's. I'd appreciate ANY help!
Thanks

Your treating doctor would know best what complications if any you are likely to have from pregnancy. Like do you have kidney damage or are you at high risk for it?

Hi and welcome.
I think there are here couple of woman who got pregnant after dx. I think that there is also a group on fb about it.
what meds are you taking ?

Hi Amann and welcome to you.

It does depend on what medications you are still taking or on ones that you have taken in the past.

There is a lovely girl on here and on our Australian fb Group that had a beautiful baby boy at 32 weeks gestation.
He came home just before Christmas and is doing very well.

She did have a flare though, after he was born and also many complications during pregnancy.

No-one is saying that it is not possible, however you will need some serious medical people and a specialist obgyn added to your team of doctors.

From what I understand - it can be full on
