Today, I’m sharing my experiences of pregnancy, birth preparation, giving birth, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding with MS. I’ve now had the privilege of experiencing this exciting time twice. Fortunately, everything went quite smoothly for me, and I want to encourage you to fulfill your dream of having children if that’s what you want.

Are you currently thinking about having children or would you like to find out more in advance? In this article, I share my experiences of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding with you and give you some tips. Having children with MS is usually just as easy or difficult as it is without this diagnosis. However, more planning is required to keep the disease under control so that you can focus mainly on the anticipation and then on your baby.
