I recovered from bartonella and several protozoa and off antibiotics for about four months when I became pregnant.

I cannot afford extensive LLMD consultation right now, but am concerned about fetal complications.

Has anyone been pregnant *after* treatment?
Did your doctor recommend any treatment or testing during pregnancy?

Thanks.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!

I would recommend you contact Dr. J, the top Lyme-literate pediatrician, who has put together a protocol for pregnant women with Lyme. This protocol can be followed with your own doctor. Many women have gone on to have healthy children.

I sent you a PM with his contact information.
