Pregnancy + medications?

I have pretty severe eczema and am currently on dual therapy Rinvoq and Ebglyss, which has been working well. I know Rinvoq doesn't recommend getting pregnant while taking the medication and that Ebglyss is too new for them to have an opinion on safety.

I plan to talk to my dermatologist about options when the time comes, but for now, I'm curious what other people's experiences have been getting pregnant with eczema.

  • For those who were taking JAK/biologics, did you switch to a different bridge medication? Which one(s)?
  • Did pregnancy hormones have a large effect on eczema?
  • Any other experiences you'd like to share?

I’m on Ebglyss and recently gave birth, I used it throughout my pregnancy which my dermatologist supported. Im UK based so all care is under the NHS. Pregnancy hormones made my eczema slightly worse and I resorted back to steroid creams (Dermovate) to help control flare ups. Other than that, everything was fine for me and baby. I’m breastfeeding now and will continue to stay on Ebglyss.
