Planning for Pregnancy Webinar (LWUK)

Pregnancy is a journey that requires planning and preparation, and for those living with MS, there may be a few additional aspects to consider. Join us for this insightful webinar as we discuss essential topics to help you feel empowered and prepared at every stage of the process.

What to Expect:
We’re thrilled to welcome Consultant Neurologist Dr. Ruth Dobson, a leading researcher and expert in MS and pregnancy. Dr. Dobson has dedicated her career to addressing the information gap around pregnancy with MS. She also played a pivotal role in founding the UK MS Pregnancy Register, aimed at understanding and improving the experiences of pregnant women with MS across the UK.

Topics Covered:

• Pre-Pregnancy Planning – Steps to take and considerations to help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy with MS.
• Disease Modifying Treatments (DMTs) – Understanding your options and adjustments that may be needed.
• Symptom Management During Pregnancy – Tips for managing MS symptoms throughout pregnancy and post-pregnancy.
• UK MS Pregnancy Register – Learn about the latest findings from this groundbreaking study and how they could shape treatment for pregnant women with MS in the UK.

Join us to learn about planning for pregnancy with MS, managing DMTs, and steps to support your well-being through pregnancy and beyond. This session will offer practical guidance from experts and the latest research insights.
