Pregnancy  

MS does not cause infertility or increase the risk of pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, premature birth, still-birth or birth defects. 

Overall, pregnancy won’t make your MS better or worse and does not increase the risk of worsening long-term disability. Some patients may experience some worsening of MS symptoms, but many people’s symptoms may also improve. 

If you are planning a pregnancy and are on treatment please discuss with your Neurologist or MS Nurse so that we can discuss your plans and review your medications 

Further information on pregnancy in MS can be found at the UK ABN consensus guidelines and MS Pregnancy Register Pregnancy - Details | UK MS Register.
