Hi
I need some information about symptoms babies have when born with lyme. My 4th child was born at 35 weeks, my water broke but no labour. They thought I had an infection or something since I wasn't dilated at all. He was very sick.
Thanks in advance
Laura

This must be sooo tough for you....I'm sorry, but I don't know....If baby does have, getting on the proper meds/supplements early is important, so I hope you find the right person who will guide you. Many may say don't worry, not lyme. Will the dr. do appropriate blood work?

Prayers for you and your baby.

I'm sure Rowingmom will be here soon to help guide you. If not, I'll email her, or you can! Just find one of her old posts and click on the blue envelope under her screen name.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

The only site I know of that deals specifically with children and Lyme is: /sites.google.com/site/drjoneskids/home

It might help for you to do some reading there?

You can find out more than I know about infants with gestational lyme on Dr Jone's website. Also here:

Our daughter was sensitive to light, sound and touch. She had febrile seizures starting at a very young age which didn't resolve until she was approx. 6 years old.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I didn't know then what we were dealing with.
