Psoriatic arthritis and being a parent
I was scanned and told baby looked healthy. We took it week by week was scanned every week and monitored 3 times a week. Baby was doing good. At 33 weeks baby wasnt showing much growth was decided at 34 weeks baby was born. We were told there would be a team of doctors waiting for baby as they were unsure how baby would be. Baby was born on 13th June 2018 was looked over by doctors and then placed on my chest. We had a beautiful baby girl apart from being tiny she was absolutely perfect all the worries had disappeared. We now have a nearly 2 year who is developing exactly as she should be and is beyond perfect.
We have 4 girls now and I have days I struggle with the pain mainly in my hands, back, feet and hips. Do any of you do any exercises that help? I'm currently shielding with my family and boy it's hard going. Feels theres no end some days. Feels alittle bit like the shielded have been forgotten does anyone else feel like this xx

Hi Claire,
Welcome to our online community!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm so happy to learn that your two year old is healthy, I can't imagine the worry you went through.
You mentioned about exercises that can help with the pain so I have attached a link to one of our web pages https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/managing-symptoms/exercise/exercises-to-manage-pain/. This page has many exercises including ones specifically for your hands, back, feet and hips so should be of use for you.
I know during this time it's easy to feel like you have been forgotten about but I can assure you this is not the case and I hope this forum will help you to realise that.
You may find it useful to keep an eye on this link https://www.versusarthritis.org/news/2020/april/coronavirus-covid-19-what-is-it-and-where-to-go-for-information/ as it is being frequently updated with the most recent information on shielding.
I hope you find this forum useful and look forward to your future posts.
Best Wishes,
Vikki
