I Have Lupus Should I have Kids Now?



Should I have kids now and get married now that I am strong young and healthy?

Is your lupus flaring very badly? If not, I would say that now would be a good time unless you are heading into a remission period. You won't be able to take most pain-killers while you are pregnant and that can be quite a transition.

Pregnancy can make lupus symptoms worse in the first trimester. In the second trimester, your body makes cortisone, which can actually make your lupus "better" until you give birth, and then you need to watch out for cortisone "withdrawls" which can make your symptoms worse.

Know that any pregnancy you have is going to be considered high risk and that you'll be watched very carefully by your doctor.

lupus, ok
I think you can pass that on to the offspring. I'd check with your doctor. Ethical dilemma. You want kids, but do you want them to live with lupus?

Up to you. If there's no risk, then definitely have them when you're young and healthy.
Yes. Also, Lupus is not hereditary:

never base life decisions on disease or feelings of desperation.
do you have to have kids?.
get healthy as you can be and adjust first.
you can always find a man or woman and adopt later.
think how much better off the world would be if we adopted all the starving and orphaned kids and didn't make so many new babies to overpopulate.
don't worry.
