MS and pregnancy

Posted by ed-tobias on December 11, 2018 at 4:44 pm

I’ve just been reading another study about what happens to women with MS who get pregnant. There are differing views about when to stop a DMT before conceiving and when to resume it. Anyone out there with a personal experience to share?

Nope, I can’t add to this being childless. But I know someone who had twins in her early 40s with MS, her symptoms got worse, whether being pregrant did that or it was natural progression, don’t really know. Does anyone really know…

  Thanks for the info, Jilleen. There does appear to be a connection. It’s the subject of my next column, which will be published Friday.

I do not have children so I cannot add to this but came here looking for responses since I’m 25 and that is the big question for me and my husband currently and the years to come. Not sure if I want to risk it. Where can I find the column you wrote?

  Hi Jordan,
  
  Here’s the column. You can find others if you search for The MS Wire from the home page here. If you search for pregnancy you might find other information as well.
