I am currently 25weeks pregnant after a couple of years of trying. I was diagnosed with PA about 10 years ago via part 1 and 2 of the schilling test. No intinsic factor antibodies, more a lack of intrinsic factor.

Can you breast feed on cyanocobalamin?

Have you discussed this with your GP/mid-wife?

If you are a member of the PAS (who sponsor this forum) then they have a dedicated nurse who can advise
