Second child? Pregnancy & Fibro

Hi all you out there.

So I have a 16 month old, and at some point we had talked about having a second one. My first pregnancy was very, very rough (HG, bleeding, pre-eclampsia, 8 weeks bedrest in the middle and at the end). It was also probably the trigger for the Fibro flare.

Given all that, I am not keen on having a second any time soon, but I was curious what experiences people have had with Fibro and pregnancy? Better, worse, the same?

Thanks!

Hi Ladybg,

I had my son many decades ago, did not have fibro at the time, so I'm no help there. I did however go to the discussion page and use the search engine at the top left, here is what I found for you under 'fibro and pregnancy'. I hope it is of help to you!

I wish I could help you on this but thankfully my son was born before all of this occurred. Hopefully others will respond to you and let you know their experiences. And SK's found a good link for you, so that's something else to look at.

Good luck! I have an amazing amount of respect for people like you who are moms in spite of the fibro. I do remember one conversation where every single mom suffering from fibro said that they were very happy they had another child, in spite of the fibro.

Hugs,
