If you have arthritis, it is never too soon to think about whether you may want to be a mum in future, or to have a conversation with your rheumatology doctor or specialist nurse. This is so they can plan your medicines with your desire for motherhood (or not) in mind.
In this video, Dr Martin Lee, a consultant rheumatologist working in the North East of England, answers the more common questions that women have on this important topic, such as, “How will pregnancy affect my arthritis?” and “Can I carry on taking medicine when I am pregnant?”. There are answers for men with arthritis too.
