    Hi laina

    What wonderful news :!: :!: :D:D:D CONGRATULATIONS :!: :!: :!: I am so pleased for you, especially as your arthritis is so much better. You have such a fantastic time ahead of you; I hope you will remain well and that all will go well for you at the birth. I'm sure anyone else with arthritis who is trying for a baby will be encouraged by your post.

    Well done and congratulations. Make sure you give yourself plenty of rest. The more weight you put on may make that ankle a bit sore

    Good luck and keep us up to date

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi, CONGRATULATIONS thats great news and I'm sure of interest to other young women who want to start families, but are worried about whether they will be able to cope with pregnacy and RA.
    So, enjoy this happy time and take care of yourself, don't overdo things! :D Lots of love Sue

    Hiya!
    Congratulations! Thats great news about the baby and the remission.

    I'm also 26 and I'm 11wks pregnant with my first. Its all a bit strange! I came off anti-TNF October 2008 (which gave me a stroke) and had a washout to get rid of all the chemical hanger ons.
    The past few months have been really difficult as I've not been on effective meds and sometimes I felt like giving up but my OH and I are very pleased to have continued. Now I'm just on steroids.

    What's your due date? Have you had any scans yet? We haven't had any scans yet but can't wait.
    Have you had any morning sickness?
    My RA is actually behaving itself, I still have off days especially if I do too much but I'm resting a lot.
    I hope your remission continues and that your pregnancy is peaceful.

    Jen

    Hi there

    Congratulations on your good news. I just found out my friend who has been trying for years is expecting finally. Must be lots of baby dust around!

    Having a baby will change your life forever. In the best possible way, there is no feeling to describe that love you feel. It's like they are attached by an invisible piece of string to your heart and the feelings just grow stronger and stronger.

    Hope everything progresses well, best stock up on the Gaviscon now!! :lol:
