Hi! Does Anyone Have Experience With The Use Of Biological Therapy For Ankylosing Spondylitis In Pregnancy? Best Regards
Just remember that whatever you put in your body you are putting in your unborn child's body too..it's a tough call as to whether the inflammation is more detrimental to the baby than the medicine. Do you really want an experimental drug that hasn't been tested on a full generation of unborn babies yet? Recombinant DNA in a lab that, for many of them, includes Chinese Hamster ovaries? I don't know, i can imagine I would not do that. But I had my babies almost 30 years ago so I don't know. Make your decisions based on what you can sleep with at night. Pregnancy with Spondylitis must be so painful. I hope fot the best health for you and your baby and a painless delivery. Maybe get a cytokine panel before taking a biologic to know that you're not taking a risk by taking one that won't fo you any good anyway. Afterall, if you take one that targets say, TNF-A but IL23 is your antagonist, it's a wasted risk and vice versa. Good luck Natasa.
