The study, published in Arthritis Care & Research, included 13,598 Swedish women in their first pregnancy, all of which were singleton pregnancies.
Maternal outcomes, such as pre-eclampsia, hypothyroid disease, stroke, and infection were more common among women with lupus.
Of the pregnant women with lupus, 16% were diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, compared with 5% from the general population.
Among the women with subclinical lupus, who later developed the condition after pregnancy, pre-eclampsia was found in 26% of women who developed lupus within two years postpartum and 13% for those who developed it two to five years postpartum.
Senior study author, Julia Simard, said: "Our findings suggest that immunologic activity, such as autoantibodies, contribute to these complications even in the absence of a clinical diagnosis of lupus.
"We are now trying to understand not only how this might impact the time to lupus diagnosis, but also what we can learn about outcomes such as pre-eclampsia or preterm birth more generally."
