Summary
This study explores the real-life experiences of people who had Lyme disease during or before pregnancy and are now raising children. Participants fill out surveys about their health, mental well-being, and child development, then take part in an interview to share their personal stories. The goal is to understand the unique challenges they face and what kind of support they need.
