Pregnancy during relapse, any experiences?

Messages

Just found out that I'm 12 weeks pregnant while already dealing with relapse. Has anybody on here had any difficulty during the pregnancy, and was the baby healthy? My ob/gyn says that if anything I should see an improvement in symptoms, and that there is no reason why I should fear something wrong with the health of the baby. Has anybody had any worsening of symptoms after the birth of their baby? Thanks.

Thanks you all...I've been reading both the thread and blog since last night. It has been very enlightening. I appreciate your help. Now I just need to find a good doc and some sort of treatment. Peace.

I think there was a yahoo group of pregnant CFS patients ... Richvank mentioned it in 1 of his posts... might be worth checking out....altho i think it doesn't get much traffic any more.

congrats!
