You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
The top Lyme pediatrician, Dr. J, has put together a protocol for pregnant women with Lyme which can be followed with one's own doctor. Call his office to find out more information (I included his phone number in my pm to you). Many women have gone on to have healthy babies by following it.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H, titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and his new one, "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

First, congratulations!
Here you can find information focused on children with Lyme which includes pregnancy info too. And of course the doctor the site is dedicated to, Dr. J in CT, is the absolute best. His contact info is on the menu to your left.
