Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a disease primarily targeting fertile women. The odds of spontaneous miscarriage, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction is higher in pregnant women with SLE as well as there are increased risks of preterm delivery and perinatal fetal death. The occurrence of spontaneous abortion is closely related to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. The disease on its own is not a contraindication of pregnancy but at least a six-month remission is suggested prior conception. The physiological changes in the course of pregnancy might have close resemblance to the symptoms of lupus, therefore these changes should be differentiated from symptoms caused by lupus. For mothers suffering from SLE, regular visits not only to their obstetricians but also to a rheumatologist are also recommended in order to allow at proper time recognition of potential complications and their appropriate treatment. Thorough check of the maternal disease is of high importance not only during but also prior to and following pregnancy. An overview is given of the opportunities of recent diagnosis and opportunities of therapeutic approaches including biological as well as stem cell treatments. The antithrombotics treatment increases the chance of survival and healthy child birth in the case of pregnant women suffering from antiphospholipid syndrome. Although occurring rarely, neonatal SLE has significantly higher morbidity and mortality compared to healthy births. Recent studies show positive results in the case of prophylactic treatment of neonatal lupus. Prenatal care is recommended to be conducted at an institute where the obstetrician is experienced in the possible complications of lupus and where consultation with a rheumatologist, and the treatment of neonates with low birth weight are ensured.
