I have been reading a lot lately on pregnancy and type 1 narcolepsy. My husband and I would love to have a family within the next few years, but I am petrified to get off xyrem (and the reality of parenthood & this disease). I’ve read that some women have cataplexy episodes during labor and therefore have to have a c-section . Is this true? How was your experience of pregnancy and motherhood with your symptoms? Any advice for me?

Would love to hear and learn from those who have gone through this.
