Functional changes in health during and after pregnancy in people with spinal cord injury—an international cohort study
Worsening fatigue and bladder function are the most common symptoms during pregnancy. Recovery is common in the post-partum period; however, nearly one-third of people experience longstanding changes. This study may provide guidance for pre-pregnancy consultation and inform expectations of pregnant people with SCI and their health care providers.
