can a woman with ms sickness get pregnant?



Question:



Answers:
My friend has MS and is wanting to have a baby. When a woman with MS is pregnant, she stops having MS (or the MS symtons go dorment; I'm not good with medical jargon...sorry). However, when the baby is born, the MS symptoms that were dorment, build up and resurface after the baby is born. So it's dangerious after the baby is born, not while pregnant.

Other Answers:
Your ability to become pregnant is not affected by MS. The medical community is unsure if pregnancy increases the risk of flare, but they do believe that the long term course of MS is not affected by having children.

An in law with MS has even gone through fertility clinics and as I myself have MS, anything stressful can affect MS. But yes she can get pregnant if there is nothing else preventing it.
MS does not affect the capability only what may happen to the mother herself.... But then again they don't know everything about this disease either, and personally I would be careful of it passing on.
My children have all told their doctors of my diagnosis and the doctors are grateful as it helps them if something should come up.
This disease is of the nervous system.
You can definitely become pregnant when you have MS. Actually your symptoms will usually lessen while you are pregnant.
