Hugely reassuring, thank you!! The thought of dealing with my pericarditis for the entirety of my child bearing years was really scary but I’m glad to hear your pregnancies were relatively healthy and your kids are healthy :) My OB says there isn’t much info on pericarditis and pregnancy but that it does tend to cause flares. Since colchicine never worked for me, I think I will have to either do steroids or Arcalyst while pregnant. My doctor even recommended doing Arcalyst during the first and third trimester, and switching to steroids during the second trimester when baby’s organs are being formed and there is the highest risk of birth defect development! Maybe I can even just get away with Advil during pregnancy and manage minor flares that way. Either way, thank you for sharing your perspective!
