Q for MS Mum's
by Oscar1973, Apr 15, 2009 07:14AM
Hi,
I am not diagnosed with MS - but have had many unexplained symptoms over last 10 years. Am 5 months pregnant with my 3rd child and for the first part of pregnancy seemed to be 'symptom free'. However, I have had the flu and a gastro type bug in the last week and feel that some of these symptoms have made a re-appearance. I am wondering if re-lapses are very uncommon in pregnancy or if they can re-occur, especially if you get a virus, run down, etc.
Thanks.

I'm a mum, but my children are 28 and 33! The days of even remembering my pregnancies are long past.
From what I understand, pregnancy is wonderful for women with MS - it throws the whole disease into a quiet phase during the pregnancy but look out after birth because it can return with a vengeance. If you have MS, perhaps the flu bugs are just taking longer to clear your sytem?
feel better and congratulations!
