How Can TB Affecting A Pregnancy Be Avoided?

Hi, I am 25. I was diagnosed with TB 3 years back. Currently I do not have any symptoms of TB (coughing, fever etc) However everytime my xray is done, it appears on that. Also I was told to have medicine for 6 months but because I use to throw up after having the medicines I stopped. Now I am planning to get pregnant however a little apprehensive on where it will affect my new born child. what should I do?

first thing that you did wrong was that you stopped the Tb treatment in between which should not be done. this can lead to multidrug resistance tb which will be difficult to treat. so first get yourself check by chest and tb specialist, start treatment again. then plan for pregnancy.
