Hello ,

Thanks for your response! I have talked to my OBGYN years ago and he told me

that prednisone is relativly safe during pregnancy. I will ask my rheumy

sometime in the future. As for the ages of my children, my son will be 10 in

March and my daughter 8 in January, so you can see I had them close together

( 22 months apart) and I loved it. But, then again, I didn't have PA then.

Anywya, I personally think they are too old for me to be going and having

another baby, but it's something I do so want. We tried when my baby was 3,

but no luck, then things got worse. Maybe there is still time, but I feel my

clock ticking away.
