Hi @Rachel24

Nice to meet you.

Congratulations on your pregnancy although i am very sorry you are struggling with RA flares. I was lucky enough not to be diagnosed until my children were at school, but I know many women are diagnosed during or just after pregnancy.

I did a quick search for you on pregnancy with RA and got this:

Hope it helps a bit.

Sending ((())) and would love to hear how you are doing.

Take care
