Three new cases of patients with myasthenia gravis during pregnancy are presented. The unpredictable course of myasthenia gravis (MG) in pregnancy is discussed. The course of labor in patients with MG is normal. The effects of certain drugs on the course of diseases are assessed. In our group of patients only one patient had an exacerbation of her MG after using an aminoglycoside. There were 7 live births. None of the newborns developed neonatal myasthenia.
