Hi Dee
I have MS! Dx around 2002. What a pain hey?! I have just found out I'm pregnant. I had a miscarriage last year in July and had to come off my meds for a while before trying. After the miscarriage- a very early one but still so upsetting- I decided I didn't want kids ( in hindsight it was a reaction to the loss) but was encouraged to stay med free in case I changed my mind and sure enough just recently I changed my mind and fell pregnant on first try. Course now I'm anxious not to loose this one. How are you feeling at over 8 weeks? I feel tired and nauseous which is how I often feel anyway with the MS. Although I guess I may be feeling a smidge more tired than usual. And more grumpy than usual, kind of feeling gloomy/angry. Very much like PMS. I'm only a few days past my expected period date but I've had several positive preg tests over last 3 days. Seeing Doc on Thursday next week. Is this your first child? It would be for me. I am getting on a bit at 38 but still I really wanted to have a child so let's see.
Good to find you!

Hi!!
Sorry for the late reply, for some reason i didn't get an email notification that you had replied to my post and i tend to stay in Tr1 most of the time!
It's great to hear from you!!
I had a miscarriage in Novemeber at 10weeks, that was my first pregnancy. My Consultant had assured me that it was ok to stay on Rebif injections whilst trying to conceive and then come off them as soon as i fell pregnant - i don't know if the meds had something to do with the MC, i suppose i will never know the cause. It definitely makes you more anxious. I have my 12week scan tomorrow so i'm a little nervous but am feeling positive.
I'm totally with you about feeling more tired and irritable than usual! I was also suffering with terrible sickness that lasted all day, for about 5-6 weeks. It was truely awful! That seems to have calmed down now, although i do still feel sick most of the time, i'm not actually vomitting as much. I've got a urine infection aswell, had antibiotics last week but they don't seem to have worked so i'm going back to the docs tommorow.
How are things with your MS? Infact, I will add you as a friend on here so maybe we can chat further.

Hi Dee
I didnt get a message alert thing either..I was expecting to get something through my emails. Glad I found your message though! Miscarriage is horrible. Im glad you are through your first trimester. I felt so tired yesterday and today that I had a sudden big doubt about my ability to look after a child at all with the MS. My main symptoms are fatigue and at times nausea so being pregnant is just like a not very good MS day but rather worse on the nausea front. Ive not had a proper relapse in a long time but on a day to day basis I am very careful to have a sleep in the afternoon so that I can function the rest of the day. I can't manage a whole day without a rest, that makes me feel a bit like an old lady. Suddenly, even though I have thought about it long and hard and decided I wanted a child, I am wondering now how I will ever cope with all those sleepless night etc. Maybe it's normal to have doubts etc. I'll just have to make sure I get a lot of help I think. I think today just isnt a very good day. I think it's hard to think straight when you just feel like throwing up all the time! It's like how I felt on New Years Day after lots of alcohol and no sleep! It's reassuring that you say your sickness stopped eventually. And what's this about pregnancy making you feel great when you have MS- is that the case for you yet?!
take care Dee
