title: Lupus pregnancy.
abstract: It should be obvious that our understanding of the problems of SLE pregnancy is just beginning, but that individual problems can be isolated, studied, and controlled. It should also be obvious that casual reassurance about pregnancy is never indicated; even very well patients can have major complications. All patients need to be closely monitored by both primary physician and obstetrician. Under these circumstances healthy, living babies and mothers are possible even in severely adverse circumstances.
