Overview
Navigating fertility and pregnancy in the context of multiple sclerosis (MS) requires thoughtful, evidence-based care — and often, multidisciplinary collaboration. This live webinar brings together a neurologist, an obstetrician, and a multiple sclerosis nurse specialist to share expert insights, clarify common misconceptions, and offer practical guidance for supporting individuals with MS throughout their reproductive journey.
Whether you’re a neurologist, MS nurse, GP, midwife, or allied health professional, this session is designed to enhance your knowledge, improve clinical confidence, and support collaborative care planning for patients considering pregnancy, already pregnant, or postpartum.
Understanding MS and Fertility:
- How MS may or may not affect fertility.
- Addressing misconceptions and concerns about getting pregnant with MS.
MS Medications and Pregnancy:
- The impact of MS medications on fertility and pregnancy.
- What medications are safe to continue during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- When and how to manage medication adjustments before, during, and after pregnancy.
Pregnancy with MS:
- How MS may affect pregnancy and vice versa.
- Discussing the role of DMT's during pregnancy.
