Hi there, I work for Arthritis New Zealand as their Communications Officer which makes me the writer/editor of our members magazine.
For the next issue I want to include a story about how pregnancy is affected by arthritis so I need your help! And while I am TTC myself I have no actual personal experience of arthritis (in any of its forms) but I have read of a few ladies on here who have.
If you are willing to be interviewed and to share your story can you please email me your details and a little overview of your position to angela.satherley@arthritis.org.nz and we'll work things out from there.
My bestfriend has arthriits, has had it since she was 6 and her dad is on the arthritis foundation committee too.
She isnt pregnant, but one of her friends has arthritis and is pregnant with identical twin boys! i think it was an ivf conception.
If you want i could talk to my friend and she could see if her other friend would be interested in answering some questions for you ?
I have rhumatoid (can't remember how to spell it!)arthritis - wasn't a problem in my first pregnancy but had quite a few really bad flare ups with my second and am on a lot more medication now than with the first while I'm still breastfeeding.
My Daughter is a member of the Auckland "Kids with Arthritis" support group if you contact the co ordinator of that group she may know some mum's who have Arthritis as well.
I'll PM you her email.
