Tourette's

[Guest jenniferk]

I am 9 weeks pregnant and my husband has mild TS and ADD. I do not believe that there is any family history on my side. Does anyone know if there are prenatal testing or preventive measures that I can take to reduce the severity of possible symptoms? Plainly, I would like to know about probability and how individuals dealt with these same worries.

Now that is a very interesting question!

 

We know that supplementation helps children from a very young age , but what about "in utero"

 

Hopefully Dr Rogers will answer this very important question for you.

 

I would just like to congratulate you on your pregnancy and encourage you to continue this pro-active search for knowledge. You are going to be a wonderful mother!

Jennifer, sorry for the delay. I was out of town.

 

I understand your question and if you will write to me at Sheila@Latitudes.org and put "prenatal" in the subject line, I will try to get some information to you. (Will have a couple of questions to ask first, which I will do in the email.)

 

We can then share generic recommendations later on the site.

 

Hope you are feeling OK so far! Sheila

This is the most common question asked about Tourette Syndrome. Here are a couple of links that can add some insite to the subject.
