Uncertain Future

Sarah My Uncertain Future with MS

3 Facts About MS and Parenting

It's safe to get pregnant with MS. MS will not affect someone's ability to have a healthy pregnancy and baby, nor to breastfeed should they choose to.

MS is not inherited. The risk of getting MS is higher for those who have a parent living with MS, but that risk is still pretty low.

There is no evidence that MS impairs fertility.

Making an Impact

The National MS Society has given me a platform to feel safe... there's a sense of community and understanding. They help you keep all the pieces together even if you can't yourself.

Every year, more than 90,000 people connect for support and understanding through Society-organized online communities and self-help groups.

6.5 million people visit the Society’s website every year for up-to-date, evidence-based information on how to live their best life with MS.

MS activists advocate for public policies that benefit people affected by MS, including $93.1 million in MS-specific research funding through the Department of Defense.
