Worsening of Multifocal Motor Neuropathy During Pregnancy
Neurol 59:139-141, Chaudhry,V.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Three women with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) were treated during pregnancy. Compared with their pregestation strength, the women became weaker in previously involved muscles and showed new weakness in previously unaffected muscles. Al l were treated with IV immunoglobulin during pregnancy and improved in strength. After pregnancy, strength in all patients returned to the prepregnancy state. The authors conclude that pregnancy may worsen MMN.
