Has anyone heard of this condition starting during pregnancy?
Is this something I should be concerned about - i.e. is it in any way harmful to my baby and/or contagious? My ob doesn't seem concerned, but since this is something new for me I like to get as much info as possible. From the info I've found on the net, my symptoms seem to fit perfectly, I'm just wondering how it is being pregnant.
If anyone has any information please let me know, I'd appreciate it much!

Thanks!
