Newly diagnosed with RRMS and now pregnant
Hello, I was diagnosed in 2024 after 9 years (apparently an earlier MRI taken then could have meant an earlier diagnosis but I had a less competent neurologist then).
Anyhow, I have been on Kesimpta since last summer and didn't have any notable side effects.I also take high doses of vitamin D and omega 3.
Now I'm 4 months pregnant and have a lot of questions about natural birth and MS.
My main symptoms are loss of stable dominant arm and hand function, heat intolerance, extremely low energy levels compared to before my last flare in 2024 and gluten intolerance.
I'm wondering if others here have experience with natural birth and being a new mom with similar symptoms?
My main concerns are if I will have enough energy to complete a natural birth and one armed/handed care for a baby.
Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.
I was officially diagnosed 9 months after the birth of my second child.(3 years after the first symptom: diplopia). Both children were born naturally (spinal taps for each). The kids and I played a lot of "tea party" and playground games the first year. I pre-schooled them at home (a well used early childhood education degree). They each skipped first grade in public schools. Have faith in yourself, your child medicines, your neurologist. You can do this .🙃🙂🙃
