Arthritis Support
We are working with the MAMA Public Advisory Group to develop this page to provide resources to support women with inflammatory arthritis who are thinking about having a child in the future, actively planning pregnancy, pregnant, or new to motherhood.
Please contact mama@npeu.ox.ac.uk if you would like to share a resource which you have found to be particularly useful and please do revisit this page as we continue to improve and update it.

As it's all online, support is available wherever you live in the UK. It's a safe, non-judgemental space to talk openly and be truly listened to.
