What should lupus patients pay attention to after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

A person with lupus has been stable for a year. Now they are one month pregnant and can they take folic acid? Also, what should they pay attention to in terms of diet, daily routines, and so on?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, lupus patients can become pregnant if they have no significant organ damage, stable condition for one year or more, have been off immunosuppressants for a year, and are only taking a small amount of hormones to maintain. Therefore, based on your description, you are currently pregnant and can take folic acid tablets. It is important to regularly visit the rheumatology and gynecology departments at the hospital for follow-up care. In terms of diet, it is the same as the dietary precautions for lupus. Rest and avoid overexertion. Wishing you good health!
