Abstract
Autoimmune diseases that particularly affect women can have possible consequences on pregnancy. The risk is twofold because it is both fetal and maternal. If the type of autoimmune disease, its immunological profile is important, the signs of disease activity or severity, including the presence or not of visceral damage (heart, lung…) at the time of conception are decisive for the course of the future pregnancy. Connective tissues disorder generally exposes the fetus to fetal loss, prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, preeclampsia but also to neonatal lupus in case of the presence of anti-SSA/SSB antibodies. Multidisciplinary care seems to be essential for the good management of a pregnancy during autoimmune diseases. A preconception consultation is important, allowing to take stock of the disease and treatments.
