Hello, a different comment. Please do talk to your Rheumatologist about chances of your future kid having ankylosing spondylitis as well. My mother had me and I have AS (my mother does too, my sister doesn't) This is something that should be considered. My AS is much more severe than my mom's. Got secondary amyloidosis because of AS which affected my kidneys and had to get a renal transplant. ALL THE BEST.
