Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem autoimmune disorder associated with multiple positive antibodies. Reproductive age group women have been found to develop SLE more commonly so than males, and pregnancy is associated with an increased rate of flare ups. The rate of pregnancy loss has decreased from 43% to 17% in recent years due to optimization of treatment and management during pre-pregnancy period. Recent studies have reported that both maternal and foetal outcome are favourable if SLE has been quiescent for at least 6 months prior to pregnancy. The effects of SLE over pregnancy and impact of pregnancy over SLE patients can be managed by optimization of pre-pregnancy treatment and management in antenatal period and follow-up. A multi-disciplinary team approach by an obstetrician, medical specialist and paediatrician for a successful management. Management of SLE to be continued in post-partum period and risk of flares and thrombotic events can be avoided by optimization of treatment in post-partum period till 6 weeks after delivery. Comprehensive maternal and new-born care has improved survival and quality of life outcomes in pregnant patients with SLE. Here, we present a series of three cases of SLE in pregnancy that had successful obstetric outcomes with an interdisciplinary management plan.
