title: [Rheumatic diseases in pregnancy].
abstract: Rheumatic diseases can influence the reproduction, the course of pregnancy and the development of the fetus. The inflammatory rheumatic disease itself can be modulated in its activity in terms of amelioration or exacerbation of the rheumatic symptoms. The associations between rheumatic diseases and pregnancy will be illustrated with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus as examples. Antirheumatic drug therapy during pregnancy and the breast feeding period has to be adapted critically.
