<s>[INST] Can patients with rheumatoid arthritis get pregnant? [/INST] Yes, a history of rheumatoid arthritis does not preclude pregnancy. Caution should be exercised with certain background treatments (DMARDs and targeted therapies), which should be discontinued some months before the pregnancy. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis usually experience a good progression of their disease during their pregnancy. Caution must be exercised in the postpartum period as the disease may reactivate.
