Depending on how you mean, yes and no, and undecided.

Lyme disease is considered an 'infectious disease', because it is transmitted by the bite of a tick. It can also be passed invitro (mother to infant) in humans, and early signs are beginning to show that it could also be sexually transmitted. Because the bacteria is constantly changing to fit the world it lives it (us!), the development of Lyme disease as a sexual transmitted disease is a very real possibility in the near future. Many partners of people with Lyme disease have developed the disease, and most Lyme literate doctors believe this is the case.

So yah, its infectious. and very dangerous.

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.
