I would trust your doctor more than what is on the internet. I pray that your baby will be OK.

God bless

By the way, There are numerous documented reports of Lyme transmission in pregnancy. However, there is not a single study following large numbers of women to determine the actual Lyme transmission rate. A review was conducted by T Gardner of numerous small studies where the pregnancy outcome was noted (only 263 cases). Her findings were published in Infectious Diseases in the Fetus and Newborn Infant 5th ed 2001. She found 66 infants or fetuses had Lyme. This suggests a 25% transmission rate in pregnancy. However the reality is the transmission rate for all pregnant women could be much higher or lower than this because of the small number of pregnancies actually studied.
