you here about suppressed immune systems like those people with HIV, AIDS, cancer, or any anti-immune diseases like Chron's, Ulcerative Colitis, some arthritis, etc.
You just can't be on drugs to suppress the immune system when you get pregant. Pregancies may be more at risk of being rejected with those with suppressed systems.
Pregnancy triggers hormones so that the embryo is not rejected by the mother. People with out of whack immune systems might have more problems.

Suppressed would mean that although your immune system is still there that for the time it will not be working as hard as it is use to working. This is why a lot of women suffer or have the chance of suffering from other health problems. A kinda cool fact is that most women with H.I.V will not pass it on to their children from birth because babies are not born with any immune system, it takes a lil while to kick in.

The immune system will normally attack anything that enters the body that is not part of your own tissue. When the immune system is suppressed, it means that it is prevented from doing this.
This is necessary during pregnancy, because if the immune system wasn't suppressed, it would attack the unborn baby, which would be a very bad thing.

This means your immune system is not functioning adequately.And can't defend your body from sickness and bacterial, fungi, viruses, parasites as well. Presdnisone is used to suppress the immune system and inflammation within the body, its a type corticosteroid treating different types of arthritis,Cohan's disease,systemic lupus,asthma's, and severe cases of psoriasis.

You just answered a ? I had about implantation not being considered a foreign object and thus can grow. Suppressed means lessening.

To hold back or hold down.It relaxes so the implant can take place.In other words the immune system is not working as hard as it usually does.
