No, pregnancy has not caused your daughter’s lymphoma.
Cancer in pregnancy is rare. And because it’s rare there aren’t a lot of studies on it. But we know that pregnancy itself doesn’t cause the cancer and pregnant women aren’t more prone to cancer than other women. The cancers that tend to occur during pregnancy are ones that are commoner in younger people, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
