Pregnant with Fibromyalgia

Hey everyone,
I found out last week that we are pregnant with our 3rd child. Flairups have slowed until the past 2 mornings where i wake up with horrid lower back/hip pain. We are trying to stay positive and keep exercising and stay healthy as much as posible

Congratulations! What kind of exercise are you doing? Tai chi is a good one if you aren’t already doing it. Very gentle and I imagine would be an excellent way for you to exercise while pregnant. And walking. Again, congratulations. What a wonderful Christmas present you have received, one that will keep on giving every year for the rest of your life.

Thank you so much. It is a challenge with the flair ups and already being high risk with my other two but regardless this is a blessing! I’m happy and nervous at the same time. Exercise will be determined by my OB I always end up on bedrest by 21-25 weeks I can’t do much before my bedrest begins. My body can’t handle pregnancy. My cervix give out before I can make it to full term. I’m hopefull and trust my doctors

I’m glad to see a post on this as I have just decided with my bf to come off all Meds (which were crap using the most friendly words i can think of. looooong story lol) and stop contraception. So it would be great to hear how your pregnancy goes. Did you have fibro when you had your other children? If so how did it all go and how do you manage?

Please keep us posted and congratulations! Best wishes with everything!

Hugs

That’s great Jo. I guess things are going well. Merry Christmas!

I wasn’t dx’d with fibromyalgia when I had both of my girls so this is all new to me. I will keep every one updated as I get further along and speak with all my Drs.

Aww thanks MB. Just realised im not getting email alerts to the discussions so sorry if I’ve missed any previous. Everything is going great other than docs. Having to pinch myself lol. Have a great Christmas yourself and I hope you are still recovering well.

Thanks for the response ladybutler and I look forward to your updates. So excited for you!
