Pre-conception, Pregnancy & Parenting

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I haven't written for a while as have been busy with my new baby who

is now almost a year old.

Through this process of having a baby while living with chronic RA, I

have found very little information available to parents as to how to

cope with both the physical and emotional issues associated with

coming off medications in order to safely fall pregnant, pregnancy

itself, post birth flares, breastfeeding and then caring for a baby

while dealing with pain and fatigue.

Therefore, I have decided to conduct some research myself, looking at

these issues. It is totally confidential and private research. I

have no funding and am not linked to any educational institution. I

am just a concerned mum and health consumer who would love to learn

of your experiences and coping strategies in an attempt to help

others going through the same or similar issues.

If you have experienced any challenges with the above issues, your

experience could really help others. I would love to hear from you

and I can tell you more about my research.

You can contact me at my email address above.

Thanks
