Planning for pregnancy webinar
Like any pregnancy, there’s lots to plan, think about, and discuss. If you have MS there might be extra things 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.
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.

Tops will include:
- Pre-pregnancy planning - steps to take and considerations to help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy with MS
- Disease modifying therapies (DMTs) - understanding your options and any 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.
