Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi everyone, I have RA is remission due to pregnancy (just starting month 8) and am aware that RA often flares soon after giving birth. To all the moms out there, how did you cope with the returning flare? If you didn't flare right away, do you have any ideas of what staved it off? I'm also curious about whether having a natural delivery helps or exacerbates the flare. It seems like the stress hormones would trigger it, but the pain relievers used during delivery might be triggers, too. I'm hoping to breastfeed for as long as possible after delivery, which means not using medications, and hopefully being physically able to care for baby without drugs. Your advice is deeply appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
