Canadian moms on a mission to prove gestational Lyme
LymeHope is pushing for the screening of Lyme disease in pregnant women, research into better testing, and for the use of preventative antibiotics.

They all say the mystery was solved when they were tested and treated for Lyme disease and now a group of Ontario mothers and kids have banded together to build awareness of the transmission of the disease from mother to child before birth.
