, Thanks for the welcome. I didnt know you could take medication while you were pregnant. I wish you the best luck. While I was pregnant I think it was the best I've felt in a long time. My OB tells me to just stay pregnant LOL. I didnt stay on any medication while I was pregnant. I wasnt as bad then as I am now though. After I had my daughter my RA got really severe. I couldnt hold my baby the way I wanted to and everything was difficult until I started Remicade. If you can stay on medication that would be great. I think maybe if I would have stayed on some kind of medication or saw my doctor immediatly after I had my daughter things would have been different, but just before I got pregnant my husband switched jobs and I didnt have insurance, when I found out that I was pregnant ( after two years trying and not having a period, a whole other story all together that I think might be

associated with RA but my doctor says no) I received medicade through my child in MI. My doctor didnt except that insurance so I had to wait until my husband new insurance kicked in and that took a few months. I decided not to have anymore kids I have two a boy and a girl (six years apart though) and I am fine with that. I am to scared to go through that pain again. Keep me updated! I would love to share information with you. I better go for now and save some for a future email. Your new friend, <catdelouise@...> wrote: Welcome, , we are glad to

have you on board! I am 36 years old and am currently trying to have a baby so your story is interesting to me. My RA is pretty well controlled through Humira though I still do have some bad days/weeks, but nothing like before Humira. I have been advised to remain on the drug through my (hopefully) pregnancy. I am a Message Board Host and Moderator of But You Don't Look Sick and you're right, its an awesome place!
