• Research summary

  
  People with MS currently face complex decisions around family planning, and many women with MS report feeling isolated when making these. There are around 1000 MS pregnancies per year across the UK, however to date there has been no attempt to enable the MS community to learn from these.

  We propose the development of a UK MS pregnancy register, which builds on existing infrastructure to inform the care of people with MS in the future. Alongside this, we will develop a resource for people with MS considering family planning to allow them access to the information they need at the time they need it.
