Vasculitis at 16 weeks
Hi mummies, I am having inflammed blood vessels/Vasculitis due to an infection.Currently at 16 weeks, would like to know if any mummies had this and went on fine?
Hi mum, I’m really sorry you’re going through this at 16 weeks, it sounds quite worrying especially with all the pregnancy hormones on top of it. Vasculitis during pregnancy can vary a lot depending on the cause and severity, so I don’t think there is a one-size-fits-all experience to compare with, but many mums do go on to have close monitoring and still deliver fine when it is properly managed by specialists. What I would really suggest is to stay very close follow-up with your gynae and the specialist managing the vasculitis, and don’t hesitate to go back earlier if symptoms worsen or new ones appear. Try not to read too many worst-case stories online because your case is very specific and your doctors will be the best to guide you through this safely.
