HELLO all. I have had Lyme symptoms since Feb 2000 & after several antibiotic treatments over the years I still feel symptoms. Blood works tests negative every time it's checked. My question is for the Moms out there who were pregnant with Lyme & did it pass on to the baby? I would like to get pregnant but am apprehensive. Has anyone or know any one who has had Lyme for many years b4 getting pregnant? How did things go 4 u/them & how was the baby? Thanks to all responses! [confused] [confused]

Yes, it can be passed to the baby! A "negative" test does not prove you don't have Lyme.

I would suggest contacting Dr J in CT before deciding to get pregnant. He and a few others have a protocol for pregnancy so the baby is protected.

Moving this to Medical Questions. [Smile]
