Autoimmune Causes

My grandmother and a cousin both developed severe rheumatic autoimmune diseases after pregnancy, when its fine even before pregnancy. I could not find any additional evidence of pregnancy causing an autoimmune disease to develop, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a link between the two, either clinical or anecdotal.

I realize that pregnancy has effects on women who already have autoimmune diseases, but I try to weigh the risk of developing a condition of being pregnant. Any additional information would be very useful. Thank you!

What happens is that the disease is not active, but there is, and flares after delivery. Autoimmune diseases are "switched on" and often sleep.

I have RA. It was triggered by strep throat at age 27. I probably had about 23 years when they thought I had carpal tunnel to be a pastry chef. It turns out that, after the electrical test for carpal tunnel, I did not have carpal tunnel. I lived my early RA these years back, no symptoms in its own right that I after the sore throat came. Now I have full blown RA.

Keep in mind that childbirth is a traumatic event for your body and trauma can cause autoimmune disease. People have been triggered by RA in car accidents, believe it or not.

No! Infact, there are a lot of recent articles that breastfeeding reduces the risk for arthritis.
