Re: Should I meet w/ my Dr. or suck it up?

[Guest guest]

get help now, I had a bad (first time) flare up with a pregnancy and AFTER I

delivered......oh my gosh ...it was 101 times worse after I delivered.

(which is what has happen to me/6 weeks post partum) That way you can have

something lined up when you have the baby, you an have an appt and medications

lined up so you are not miserable with a newborn. but that is my newbie advice

I would get help now. The doctor will be most cautious regarding your baby.

Many blessings...

hurt the entire pregnancy, and now it's so stiff and sore. It hurts to

turn it when I drive. This morning I woke up w/ a black and blue and

swollen knuckle. I wish I was in full remission!!!

If you were in my situation, would you wait it out 7 more weeks, or go

get help now?

Get help now.

You can see what your rheumatologist suggests. Express your concerns about

the baby.

You don't have to agree to any treatment you aren't comfortable with.

As Amber said, even if to just get a plan in place for immediately after

giving birth, it would be worth talking the situation over with your

rheumatologist.

Not an MD

None of us should influence you.

An intent list should not determine your baby's fate, a doctor who has been

trained should.

You have symptoms, you should tell your doc and trust him to do the best

thing for the baby's health.

Take care,

Pris

hi its TRUE what pris said. we cant TELL you what to do esp... since you are

already 7months.. however my CONCERNS would be you & the PROBLEMS you are

WAIT and TELL your dr. because HE OR SHE SHOULD be LOOKING out for BABY AND

TIME...... I WISH YOU AND THE BABY LUCK,NO MATTER what you should choose to do!!
