I haven’t become a mother yet and am wondering if this will help my HS, keep it the same or if to expect more flares!

Yes, I had this and, was pregnant. I had infection pretty bad. They gave me lots of iron and penicillin!

Yes for me I didn't have a single outbreak while pregnant, but I have heard some say they experienced more flares, I didn't start getting flares bad until I stopped breast feeding then on birth control it calmed down and when I went to take a break from it for a while it kicked back up I believe just based on my experience hormonal imbalance is a huge trigger for my flares

@A myHSteam Member Even when I talked to the pharmacist who delivers me the humira , they told me to ask my doctors , they couldn’t give me any details ,

Mine definitely calmed after giving birth, I was in hospital with it after my daughter turned 5 and my specialist said this was typical with HS. I'd never had a diagnosis till then.
