Not sure about this...

[happymama02]

I still have yet to go to a rheumatologist for diagnoses..my OB and high risk OB are both convinced i have Lupus because of the antibodies in my blood...I didn't think they were right because i have no outward symptoms..but the last few days I have been more tired then usual it takes everything in me to even feed my kids..i am sore..not really my joints...just kind of my whole body...I do spill protein into my urine(another reason Ob's think I have Lupus) so now I don't know anymore..if these pains and fatigue are caused from Lupus is there anything I can do to help it any? I don't see a rheumatologist until later this month...so until then it's all a guess.. Another question I have is..I just read that woman with Lupus are at a higher risk for pre-term labor..is that true? Does anyone know the chances of that? My Ob has only had one patient with Lupus before so I figured it would be better to ask you ladies then ask him..since anything else I ask him he's never sure about..They are having me do NST's twice a wk. but only because high-risk told them too..but i'm still just wondering..

I have 3 kids and 1 on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will tell you my first I was not diagnosed with lupus yet and I DID HAVE PRE-ECLAMPSIA (again typical with lupus patients), the drs didnt knwo what the problem was till it was late in pregnancy but my liver levls and blood levels were off so at 35 weeks they induced me, it was needed I had a lot of after birth bleeding which again I hear is common with lupus patients who are having complications. and it was after my 1st son that all my rashes came out and facial rashes and soars in my mouth etc... I did have a miscarriage inbetween my 1st and 2nd,  no proof lupus related but says possible? then after my 2nd son my exhaustioin set in and the drs blamed it on caring for 2 kids and then OOPS I was surprise pregnant with my 3rd and thats when my drs began to get concerned at the liver levels so after a few specialists the diagnosis came and meds shortly after. NOW a few yers later im pregnant with #4 and besides my rashes back and extreme exhaustion my drs are not super concerned they said im high risk but not to a point that they need to see me more often or anything! As for preterm labor like I said I went early with my first, my 2nd was right on time and my 3rd was 10 days early but no complications.
