Introduction
Research on rheumatoid in women continues to search for solutions to reduce the impact the disease has on women. Patients have benefited from solutions that have been created as a result of the studies. However, for pregnant women, there are diverse challenges before and after childbirth. This indicates that there is a gap in understanding the challenges and potential solutions for pregnant women with rheumatoid. The articles that have been identified analyze the problems and solutions that should be implemented to aid pregnant women with rheumatoid and to identify those at risk.

Aljary et al. assessed whether women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at a higher risk for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The cohort study was focused on pregnancy outcomes in women with rheumatoid arthritis. Aljary et al. used data on births from 2004 to 2013 in the United States. Unconditional logistic regression was the method used to analyze the adjusted effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Aljary et al. proposed that women with RA should be made aware of the adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes and be followed as a high-risk pregnancy.
The research by Aljary et al. shows that pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to experience adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. These outcomes may include wound complications, thromboembolisms, eclampsia, pre-eclampsia, and placenta previa. This study will provide insight into the effects of rheumatoid in pregnant women. The article was published recently hence it contains up-to-date information.
My interests are understanding the challenges experienced by pregnant women with rheumatoid and identifying potential solutions.
