Please stay strong, I think things can turn out OK for you and your baby. It's common for expecting mothers with MG to do just fine and require no special care. The problem is that right now, you don't know if you are doing everything you can do. The fact that many docs don't know much about MG makes that situation worse.

I searched hospitals in Pittsburg and found that UPMC has a 'high risk' obstetric unit. I'm not saying you are high risk. I don't know that at all. I'm just suggesting you might want to avoid having a neuro, who doesn't know obstetrics and an obstetrician who doesn't know MG.

I saw this type of unit perform miracles at another hospital. They were able to take a full view of both the mother and the baby. They coordinated docs from other practice areas to decide what must happen to have the best outcome for mother and baby.

I wish you and your baby the best. I think you'll both be fine. Don't be afraid to advocate for the best, coordinated care you can find.
