During pregnancy I had no energy in my 1st trimester, but my OB said that was normal for all women. My 2nd trimester was AWESOME! I had so much energy, and I literally could not sleep any later than 7 am. I wanted to go go go all of the time. My 3rd trimester wasn't bad as far as energy goes. It was summertime and being big and pregnant isn't fun for anyone when it's 110 degrees outside.
I was VERY tired after I had my son but again, I don't know if it was the MS or the fact that I was taking care of a completely helpless human being 24 hours a day :) I was lucky in that I got to be a stay at home mom, so I didn't have to worry about being tired after work and still having to have enough energy to take care of a baby. Also, my husband and I made a deal that he would help with nighttime feedings/diaper changes on the weekends when he was off work too. He was such a big help with that.
The bad part is that I have no energy. Never. Ever. Honestly, the baby stage is mentally and physically exhausting. My son is now 6 and it is still, at times, mentally and physically exhausting. I need my naps. I take as many as I can on the weekends. I have been working full time for the last 3 years so sometimes I go to bed early during the week and leave dinner, bathtime and bedtime stories up to my husband. But my husband is and always has been very supportive and understanding of my MS and my limitations. And I don't feel bad at all for those times that I have to sleep and leave all parenting up to him because it's his job too. We're a team.
And even though I am very very tired, my son is the GREATEST thing that has ever happened to me. He is sweet, smart, funny and kind. He makes me laugh every single day. He gives me kisses and tells me he loves me all of the time, and it makes my heart want to explode with joy. There are few times that I remember being filled with such joy and happiness that I laughed uncontrollably, and seeing him for the first time was one of those instances. It was absolutely the greatest feeling in the world. There is nothing I would rather do than be his mom. Even with MS.

Energy? Ha! Kids can be the opposite of energy. I am an army vet, army wife, full time college student and full time homeschool mom. I'm allergic to energy. My kids know we have daily naps and they have been taught to pitch in and help out. Give yourself grace to not get everything done. Celebrate what you do accomplish and not compare yourself to what others do. Enjoy the journey and all that comes with it. The first month is exhausting. You will be living with a human that has recently immigrated to your country. They won't speak English or know your customs. They are selfish, irrational and needy. Smile bc its all worth it!

I was diagnosed in 1986, already had 3 kids (75,78,80)so dealt with strange episodes in hindsight back to jr. high days, numbness in one leg after the birth of our first, later numb toes, optic neuritis, nearing loss with congestion, balance issues....continued teaching. I'm glad to have 3 kids, 8 grand children. I have no regrets, minor disability that I just put up with.

I had my son in 2003. I was diagnosed in 1998. I had withdrawl symptoms from medications. My bladder never liked it. MS didn't flare-up but I was ill my entire pregnancy. To avoid the post pregnancy flare up I was placed on my IV therapy and all drugs that afternoon after I had my son. All my doctors agreed to take him four weeks early. This is the only explanation of me developing preeclampsia after pregnancy. My son was born with ASD and it is is mild. As he gets older he seems to grow out of it, but again this can be attributed to drugs specifically tegretol.

He is a great boy. And my MS IS FINE.

I've always heard that MS goes into remission during pregnancy. But after, who knows? If your husband is committed to helping, don't NOT have children because of M.S.
