I am currently 4.5 months pregnant. Everything is going extrememly well so far - we are thrilled! I am getting a lot of blood work done (routine things) and I am wondering if anyone knows of any tests I should make sure to request? I am a chronic Lyme patient, but have zero symptoms with this pregnancy - they have all just disappeared (for now)! But, I of course want to make sure to get any tests and take all precautions that I can for the baby. Any advice is appreciated - thanks!

hi there are links somewhere on here about lyme and pregnancy, the most important part is to be in continuous treatment for the lyme . the fetus is more likely to be clear of lyme if you are in treatment while pregnant also lyme is apparently transferrable through breast milk so you might want to consider bottle feeding after birth
