Lyme Disease with Pregnancy

Knottie1452016449

Hi! I'm a 23 year old about 10 weeks with my first pregnancy. I have been having a ton of joint pain to the point where it's hard to get out of bed or get to sleep. I went to the doctors and got tested and I have Lyme disease. My doctor put me on antibiotics but didn't have much to say over the phone with the results other than he wanted me to be referred to a specialist. Who I don't even see until the middle of November. I am freaking out! Have any other women went through this? They say it's a low chance I can give it to my child but I'm scared! Also can I breastfeed?

I don't have any personal experience. But I know Lyme desease can make you exhausted and so can pregnancy so I am sorry for that. Hopefully they caught it early enough that it won't really effect you. My dad has Lymes but they caught it kind of late. He seems to be doing pretty good though.
