I'm about to rewrite our information sheet on pregnancy and Parkinson's and would love to hear from anyone who may be able to offer a review of our current version. Your input would really help make sure the next issue has all the right information and is as useful to readers as possible.
If you have been through a pregnancy with Parkinson's I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at [email protected]
Thank you

If you decide to fight the disease, you should know it isn’t easy. I had an experience with treatment, I started taking medication at the age of 20 when I had my first symptoms, and I took it for about 3 years. Then when I realized that the symptoms were getting worse, I started getting treatment from several specialists. It was important to me to have strict supervision over myself. I didn’t expect positive results.
I would recommend adding advice to the information sheet about being under the strict supervision of several doctors. And also, add information from here https://mother.com/stages-of-pregnancy/ about the stages of pregnancy. Moms-to-be should understand what to expect in pregnancy.
