Answers:
Has your daughter been tested for APS, which runs with Lupus. I have both Lupus and APS. I am concerned about clotting and pre-eclampsia. She needs her kidneys and heart checked as soon as possible. Is she being followed by a perinatologist?
Although a lupus pregnancy is considered high risk, most women with lupus carry their babies safely to the end of their pregnancy. Women with lupus have a higher rate of miscarriage and premature births compared with the general population. In addition, women who have antiphospholipid antibodies are at a greater risk of miscarriage in the second trimester because of their increased risk of blood clotting in the placenta. Lupus patients with a history of kidney disease have a higher risk of preeclampsia (hypertension with a buildup of excess watery fluid in cells or tissues of the body). Pregnancy counseling and planning before pregnancy are important. Ideally, a woman should have no signs or symptoms of lupus and be taking no medications for at least 6 months before she becomes pregnant.

Some women may experience a mild to moderate flare during or after their pregnancy; others do not. Pregnant women with lupus, especially those taking corticosteroids, also are more likely to develop high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), and kidney complications, so regular care and good nutrition during pregnancy are essential. It is also advisable to have access to a neonatal (newborn) intensive care unit at the time of delivery in case the baby requires special medical attention.

It is not legal to diagnose that over the Internet. Ask the doctor.
Go to the doctor.
Go to doctor and more doctors.
Even a real good doctor can not diagnose through net.
I, too, have Lupus and it can be a very challenging disease because it affects your whole body.
This is something that needs to be evaluated by her rheumatologist right away. Pregnancy adds stress to the body and in Lupus, the body is already stressed.
Please get her in to see her rheumatologist ASAP.
in my opinion you should take her to the doctor because that's a really bad diseases my sister was diagnosed with something like that but in her case she would had red thin veins in her legs. she was also pregnant but when she when to the doctor all the doctors told her that it was because of the pregnancy... it wasn't true it was something else in the same family of lupus. my sister had her baby like 1 1/2 month earlier that expected because of that the doctors told her then later they told her that lupus could make her blood turn into water not like water we drink but into the liquid thin liquid so she better check her self fast and keep cheking how the baby is doing
