Q

How do you manage a pregnancy with diagnosed gastroschisis?

A
  1. Offer genetic screening if it has not been done

Q

What is the preconception management for lupus?

A
  1. Assess lupus for active disease
  2. Assess presence of antibodies
  3. Assess hyper coagulability or concurrent medical conditions
  4. Assess medication compatible with pregnancy
  5. Recommend disease quiescence for 6 months prior to pregnancy and discuss risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes
