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. TIA ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

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.
I will email you. ------------- Zac Mark - 30.11.05 Samara Ailsa - 13.08.07 |
