AB Patients  with  rheumatic  disease  commonly  have  questions  regarding  conception,  pregnancy,  and  breast-feeding,  as  well  as  using  medication  during  all  of  these  phases.  In  this  chapter,  these  issues  are  discussed  in  the  context  of  rheumatoid  arthritis  (RA),  systemic  lupus  erythematosus  (SLE),  the  antiphospholipid  syndrome,  scleroderma,  and  the  systemic  vasculitides  Takayasu  arteritis  and  antineutrophil  cytoplasmic  antibodies  (ANCA)-associated  vasculitis.  The  use  of  individual  medications  is  also  discussed.
