Regarding pregnancy, around 50% of pregnancies in women with lupus do not present alterations or compromise in the pregnancy, being normal, and 25% generate babies that are born with complications because they are premature and the rest, correspond to spontaneous abortion or death of the child. drink. Final considerations: SLE presents a range of signs and symptoms in pregnant women, altering the woman's physiological activities.
