Myasthenia Problems During Pregnancy and Birth

An improvement of the Myasthenia Gravis is just as possible during the pregnancy as a degradation. Mestinon or Kalymin cannot be taken without hesitation, them represent for the unborn a risk. Cortisone is regarded as relatively safe medicine during the pregnancy and is probably the means of first choice, if a Immunosuppression is necessary during the pregnancy. Immunglobuline, immune adsorption and Plasmapheresis are likewise without special risk for the pregnancy. The risk of premature baby birth should be increased with Myasthenia mothers.

The myasthenia pregnant woman should use to gather strength for the birth and not least for a very stressful time after birth. A stable Myasthenia is during the pregnancy meaningfully and importantly also for the child.

Because the muscles of the uterus are not affected by the MG Myasthenia Gravis, a normal birth is possible in principle. Only in the second stage of other muscles is required to cooperate, they are too weak, the use of ventouse or forceps be useful. With the exhaustion of a Caesar child birth may be necessary, but this is rather the exception. That are absolutely necessary precautions anaesthesia or local anaesthesia should definitely be discussed long before the birth with the doctors.

Since during the birth, the digestive processes are interrupted, and the active ingredients from tablets at that time only partly absorbed by the body. Mestinon should be injected intravenously if needed.

From 15 to 30 percent of the infant born children of myasthenic mg myasthenia mothers has a so-called neonatale myasthenia gravis (neonatal MG), which heals completely however within fewer weeks of after the birth. The symptoms arise within a few days after the birth and show up particularly in weakness when drinking and crying. Which children are concerned, cannot be predicted unfortunately and is not from the condition and the anti-body titer of the mother to be derived. Each newborn child of a mg mother should be supervised therefore some days after the birth medically. Also the freshly baked mother should observe herself carefully, because the hormone conversion after the birth can cause a degradation of the Myasthenia with approximately 30% of the women. For these reasons it is very advisable to go for relieving into a hospital with attached newborn child monitoring station and myasthenie experienced neurology.

It is to be considered, medicines into the mother’s milk ignores. With Mestinon one goes out in the meantime with it, mixing to 300 mg with a satisfying mother is harmless. But not only medicines, but also the antibodies of the mother are to be found in the milk. Whether satisfying is justifiable is very controversially discussed, from there and should be decided in individual cases in each case.
