I just would like to share some of the experiences of my pregnancy. I already have two teenage children ages 14 and 15. They are both healthy, and I am pregnant now with some complications.

Hello everyone!!! This is my first post here, so i will try my best. I have been looking for a place that I can share my recent pregnanc issues to see if there is anyone that is going through the same things as I am. I am a 36 year old with my 3rd and 4th pregnancy .Twins!!!!!  I have been diagnosed with lupus almost 3 years ago. For the most part I am able to manage with medications. Right now, I am at 26 weeks and have been off of all the lupus medications since the beginning of my pregnancy/ At one point in time I was on blood pressure medicine, blood thinners, asprin, thyroid medication, steroids, for the lupus, pain medication. Now I am on none of those. I even take a lower does of my thyroid medication, because I was scared to take anything. At 20 weeks I went on bedrest and have stayed on it. I am dilated 2cm as of this morning. We went to the emergency room with some problems and i wasthere a long time. They did release me, after IV medication, and sent me home on preterm labor drugs. I am only supposed t get up to got to the bathroom. I would really like to know how long I can stay on this medication, and I am so early, would like to hear from others that have had a preterm pregnancy.

I have had a very difficult time this time and have even started working online for a company and I really enjoy it. This will be something that I do even after the babies are born. That is all for today, will be back tomorow with current update.

I know someone who has lupus. She got healed of the ailment after a year of treatment. I will pray that you will be healed too and the babies will be ok.
