    PREGNANCY AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASES

    systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

    • SLE improves in 1:3 pregnancies, remains unchanged in 1:3 and worsens in 1:3 pregnancies. Pregnancy outcomes depend primarily on the severity of the underlying renal disease.

    Fetal heart block and fetal bradycardia may occur due to the myocardium and conduction system being affected by antibodies.

    • Preeclampsia risk is high in patients with lupus nephritis and preeclampsia develops more frequently in patients with positive antiphospholipid antibodies.

    • Perinatal complication risks are significantly increased in pregnant women with lupus. Among them; preterm labor, IUGR, stillbirth, and neonatal lupus syndrome.

    Due to the myocardium and conduction system being affected by antibodies

    (especially anti SS-A and anti SS-B) fetal heart block and fetal bradycardia may occur.

    Differential Diagnosis of Active Lupus and Preeclampsia Syndrome

    Rheumatoid Arthritis

    • Pregnancy is protective against rheumatoid arthritis and improves the clinical picture.

    However, the risk of relapse increases 6 times in the first 3 months after birth. Rheumatoid arthritis does not have a negative effect on pregnancy outcomes.

    Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma)

    • Disease is usually stable during pregnancy if basal functions are good

    however, exacerbations occur in 1/3 of the cases.

    • Maternal and fetal outcomes depend on the severity of the underlying disease. The risk of superimposed preeclampsia is increased in patients with renal failure and malignant hypertension. There is an increased risk of preterm birth, very low birth weight infants, IUGR and perinatal mortality.

    PREGNANCY AND MALIGN DISEASES

    • Breast, cervix, hematological malignancies and melanoma are among the most common cancers in pregnancy.


    The most common cancer in pregnancy is stated differently in different sources (breast, cervix or lymphoma).


    The most common surgical procedure during pregnancy is laparoscopy. During laparoscopy, hypercarbia and acidosis occur and uteroplacental perfusion decreases. The cerebrospinal fluid pressure increases.
