Hi Jamie,

You do not say whether you have been diagnosed with MS or not.   Sounds like you are describing vertigo which can be a symptom of MS. 

 

Congratulations on the new little one.  I don't know if you know, but in the months following pregnancy/child birth a woman with MS is much more likely to experience a significant MS relapse. 

 

It could be that your symptoms are part of a relapse.  You should definitely contact your neurologist to discuss this possibility.  A short round of steroids might help to alleviate your symptoms.

 

Hope you begin to feel better soon.  Please let us know what the doctor says.
