Plegridy in pregnancy?

Hi everyone, I've recently got pregnant, it's still very early days, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience of using any of the DMTs in pregnancy? I'm currently not on any medication, but my neurologist has suggested that I could start plegridy (or another that I've forgotten!) whilst pregnant. I'm aware that pregnancy will reduce my likelihood of having a relapse, but I'm also a but scared of having a relapse right after my pregnancy (as this is what happened to me last time). I'm weighing up the pros and cons at the moment, and wondering whether I would be better to start now and give the plegridy time to build up in my system? Just wondering if anyone else out there had experience of MS drugs during pregnancy? Thanks!

@Molliemoomin , as far as I'm aware, Copaxone is the only DMT which is safe throughout pregnancy. I'm surprised Plegridy has been suggested. The following statement is taken from the Plegridy website :- "It is not known if PLEGRIDY can harm your unborn baby" I doubt if your Neuro knows better........
