Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr. Kalpesh Kavar, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

During your treatment I would advice you not to conceive as the risk to neonate of getting TB infection shortly after the birth is greater. and there is chances of occurrence of pre-maturity, smaller than expected size and low-birth weight babies in women treated with ATT for 6-9 months during pregnancy.

But after your treatment once you are cured from TB, then it is totally safe to become pregnant and your body will cope up well with pregnancy stress and your baby will be safe and healthy.

I hope this helps you. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)

Take Care.
