See below: You need to see a rheumatologist to rule out lupus as these labs can be false positives on occasion. However if the labs are truly positive, then a rheumatologist will be working closely with your OB as sometimes lupus can get worse in pregnancy if you have it.

Possibly lupus: Possibly lupus, but could also be related to the thyroiditis. Rheumatologic evaluation essential.
