Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi everyone! I've always been able to get great advice from you all, I hate to only post when I need you..but here goes... I am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant ( a bit of a surprise pregnancy) I have seen my ob 3 times already and a perinatal specialist (my ob referred me since i was very uneasy about my meds i am taking and getting pregnant.) I am taking Humira weekly and 6 mg of prednisone. I was taking plaquanil but have stopped since finding out of my pregnancy. Here is my situation.... My rheumatoligist requested that I stop taking the humira. both the specialist and my ob have said that with it being a catagory b that it is safe for the baby. I also have read of many pregnancies that have done fine with humira. my last pregnancy, i was taking enbrel and (5 years ago) was taken off of it as it was not classified safe yet...I took high prednisone the entire pregnancy and don't really want to do that.... I am very confused on what to do about the humira. I do know that my rheumy is quite conservative and that may be the reason ( i have an office visit with him tomorrow to discuss) . any advise or experience would very very very much be appreciated. thanks DeeDee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
