IDK how long i've had this for. I've had problems as far back as I can remember but I have a multitude of issues medically. My second pregnancy was uneventful and it's been downhill since then. She's 5 now and I just got my MS dx. So I can't honestly answer you but I have heard the same things you stated. *BUMP*

I wasn't diagnosed until about 4 years after my second son was born (last summer). Hindsight being 20/20, I think I had symptoms as far back as 10 years ago.

One of the first thoughts that crossed my mind after dx was 'thank God they didn't diagnose me sooner or I might never have had my two boys who are the loves of my life.

That said, for the moment, other than TN my MS is pretty mild. Talk to your doctor, consider where your MS is at and where it may be heading. My understanding is that you're likely to have an exacerbation after you give birth. In hindsight, I think what I thought was post partum depression may have been some kind of MS mood swing flare or something. Best of luck to you - tough decision - go with your heart.

My hubby and I do things differently.... we both have been diagnosed with MS. He was diagnosed with MS in 2000. Then while pregnant with our 4th and final child in 2002, I experienced my first neuro problems, and after an MRI during pregnancy I was told it was "probable MS" I refused all other tests then, recovered after about 2 months of hell at 100%. I then had my second attack ever in August 2007, and was officially diagnosed by December 2007. So pregnancy obviously brought on my MS. That is the first I have heard of that.

I was diagnosed when my first child was 1. Five years later, against the advice of some, I had my second daughter. During pregnancy, my MS was in remission.(Thank God, I was worried about carrying on bum legs) I've had two flare-ups since, then back in remission. My last MRI showed no new lesions. My children are now 13 and 9. They are what keeps me positive.

I was dx 3 years ago and have not had any kids yet. Neuro and I are working to get the disease under control before becoming pregnant . He has made it very clear that I will likely have an exacerbation after birth and should plan on starting medications as soon as delivery is over. Because of this, he doesn't want me to breast feed either.

All that said, it's scary but I think it would be worth the risk to enjoy that aspect of life.
