Why do women typically get arthritis when they are pregnant?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most do not: Arthritis during pregnancy is not seen often. Some women have musculoskeletal discomfort due a change in posture during pregnancy.

They don't: Pregnancy often has a protective effect against arthritis and flares of arthritis. This is partly due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy.
