Abstract
⺠Patients with SLE and APS can have successful pregnancies when properly assisted. ⺠Multidisciplinary approach and pre-gestational counselling are key points to favourable outcome. ⺠Optimal timing: pregnancy should start during stable remission of maternal disease. ⺠Teratogenic drugs should be withdrawn, while “safe” drugs should be continued throughout pregnancy. ⺠Autoantibodies that may negatively affect pregnancy outcome should be screened in each patient.
