Sjogren's Syndrome And Pregnacy.... Posted: 09-26-05 01:16am
Hi there I am new here and just had a
question that I am not sure if anyone
would know the answer to.
Could anyone here tell me if sjogren's
sydrome effects amiotic fluid levels
during pregnacy?
I am not preg now but am in the process of
diagnosis of lupus or sjogren's syndrom.
At the end of both my pregnacy's with my
girls I had very very low amniotic fluid
to the point that they had to induce labor
with my first one because the level was so
low and with my second daughter I had to
have ultra sounds for the last month and
1/2 because my levels were so low for the
last 2 months.
I did not know if there is any side
effects during pregnacy with sjogren's
syndrome.
Any info would be good.
Thanks...Michelle :?:

A certain blood marker often found in
women with Sjogren's syndrome can, very
rarely, be associated with heart problems
in newborn babies. If you're a woman with
Sjogren's syndrome who is planning to
become pregnant, see your doctor about
testing for this marker. If it is present,
ask your doctor whether pregnancy is
advisable. If you do become pregnant, you
and your doctor can work out the best plan
to manage the situation.
The above is informaztion from another
website hope it helps.
I myself have CREST Scleroderma & have
some sympotoms of Sjogrens (dry eyes &
mouth). Hope you get a diagnosis soon.
