Can a mother who is infected with lime disease infect her child with lyme disease will she is pregnant?

Lyme disease is not considered a contagious illness, so a mother cannot directly pass Lyme disease to her child during pregnancy. However, there are rare cases where the bacteria that cause Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) have been detected in the placenta or amniotic fluid, but these instances are uncommon and not fully understood. Generally, the risk of transmission from mother to fetus is low. Pregnant women should take precautions to avoid tick bites to prevent infection.
