Wow, you have a lot on your plate!
Congratulations!
You might ask both your neurologist and OB or midwife if they know of any neonatologists or OBs that have experience with similar situations to perhaps overview your case.

Hi. Congratulations!I wouldn't worry yourself about it. Enjoy being symptom free for now and the joy of being pregnant. Don"t let MS take over your happiness.You have IT, IT does not have you.Weather or not you will have a relapse, who knows. Its like not knowing if your going to hit the lottery or not. Dont focus on it, stay positive, don't Google it, everyone's different. Stay healthy,stay positive, take herbs and vitamins and you will be fine:)

Hi and welcome to our little MS community,

Congratulations on having a new baby on the way! Unfortunately like everything with MS, its difficult to know if you would relapse or not, the only thing you can really know is......it's common to relapse in the first few months after giving birth. That doesn't mean that you will, just that there is a high possibility that you might.

If i were in your shoes, i'd be focusing on the pregnancy and the joy new life brings and lock the worry of relapsing in a box for if or when it actually happens, enjoy the moments!

Cheers.......JJ
