Baby Update (as requested)

[Guest guest]

Hello RA friends!

     Thanks for all of your kind words and requests for baby updates. I am

currently 11 weeks and feel amazing! I haven't had any side effects at all and

my RA appears to be in remission. My team of doctors (rheumy, OB, infusion nurse

& GP) and I have chosen to stay on Remicade rather than change anything. I am a

participant in the OTIS study at UC-. I had a sonogram last week. The baby

is the size of a lime and has a heartbeat of 174 beats per minute, which the OB

says is perfect. My next sonogram is April 11th for the Down Syndrome test (no

amnio -- now it is a blood test and sonogram measurement) and hopefully, we'll

find out if it is a boy or a girl.

     

Take care,

Steph in VA
