Welcome! Pregnancy does make the myotonia much worse because of the higher levels of hormones. Even women who have very mild symptoms otherwise get quite stiff during pregnancy.

If you go to the main site ("Return to Website" link above) there is a good article about MC and some other information that might be helpful. Many of us were told we were clumsy or lazy when we were young!
