C-section

C-Section - Advice

Any advice please , I'm currently 34 + 1 ive had MS Since i was 28 , I'm now 32, I would have been on treatment but I fell pregnant which of course I'm happy about...I suffer daily with symptoms , from muscle weakness and back problems to tremors sometimes. Stress is also a big factor of my MS. I also have proctitis of the rectum up to the sigmoid area , I'm in remission at the moment with that but there are also risk to it regards inflammation etc. I'm asking my consultant if I can have c section , as I feel this would be the best way for me, but I just feel the consultants aren't understanding my reasoning.

Has anyone in here opted for planned c section due to their MS? And how were the consultants/midwifes?

Family

Struggling/venting

I have a 3rd grader who refuses to listen and do what he is told. He is being physically hurt by bullies at school and the school does nothing. Lately when he hurts his little sibling or continues to defy me I am in so much pain that I either collapse or hurt myself to get it to go away. This is after weeks, months and years of trying to get doctors to hear me. I have been the ER and sat there for 9 hours with my now 18 month old with no relief. My husband refuses to help and hear me as work is more important to him than family life. I just want the pain from the flare up/relapse to go away. Mind you I lost all 3 of my job's when my MS made me blind and completely paralyzed in 2019. I have applied for SSI Disability 12 times and been denied even after appeals with a lawyer. They say the employer can Tailor to my unstable condition. Every interview I have been to they ask how my condition is managed and yet refuses to work around it. I am tired of being alone and unheard by everyone.

Post pregnancy relapse..

Currently having a relapse 3 weeks after giving birth. I knew it was a possibility but still scary. I’m really numb and in pain from the waist down, awaiting steroids. I was only diagnosed 2021 after a relapse and not a lot since due to being on Tysabri. I’ve not had steroids before for it, has anyone got any positive stories of them working quite quickly?

Symptoms

Hi ladies, I hope you’re all ok🙂 I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to share their symptoms of MS? I’ve not been feeling right for a while I did have a B12 deficiency before I fell pregnant (little girl is now 19 months) I felt my healthiest whilst I was pregnant and afterwards and then since returning to work in Feb I’ve been feeling really off with a fuzzy head, headaches, heavy periods, feeling dizzy etc. I’ve been told my folic acid levels are low and I’m on folic acid tablets now but good olde google took me to MS and now I’m thinking what if? I’d be so grateful for anyone who is happy to share their symptoms with me xx

Childbirth

Not sure what happened

I am 39 weeks pregnant with my second child and haven't had my MS meds in 18 months due to doctor complications. In the last 2months I have been having what feels like seizures when baby flips from head down to breech. As of yesterday she is breech and completely facing the wrong way. Do I do the intensive flip procedure? Or just wait for the 16th to see if we get induced if she flips on her own or if she is still breech do the c section? I have already been through 3 hours of seizures this morning just from baby moving and my doctors are not concerned. Literally stuck in bed unable to stand. My 6 year old is a huge help with taking care of our dogs while I am down. My husband works 12 hours a day 7 days a week. He won't be able to be with me on the 16th and doesn't come to any of my appointments.
