4Effects of Multiple Sclerosis on Pregnancy
Many studies have suggested that multiple sclerosis does not have any effect on fertility, pregnancy, delivery, and labor. In addition, scientists believe that there is no increased risk of common complications in pregnant women, including stillbirth, chorioamnionitis, preeclampsia, different fetal growth, and major birth abnormalities. It is unclear how the likelihood of pregnancy complications would change with the severity of multiple sclerosis. Therefore, more research is needed to determine this link. It is also worth noting that flare-ups of multiple sclerosis tend to reduce during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimester. Fatigue, gait, bowel, and bladder problems, which are common in pregnant women, would worsen for those with multiple sclerosis. [6]
