Hi charlotte88

I sincerely hope that you are feeling well today? As a man, I do no really have much inclination about pregnancy. However, I can easily imagine that as each pregnancy is different for everyone, then Fibro is probably the same? After all, we are all unique individuals who react differently to both our illness and our medications, so maybe pregnancy is no different?

I want to wish you all the best of luck if you do decide to have another baby, and I genuinely hope that the pregnancy goes really well for both of you.

All my hopes and dreams for you.

Hi Charlotte I have 2 children and have been diagnosed since my 2nd. My husband won't entertain a 3rd but I honestly think it would finish me off! I didn't do pregnancy that well and was tired and grumpy so adding fibro I would be impossible to live with and potentially unable to work. All the best with whatever you decide.

My fibro started during my first pregnancy and firming decided that I would have no more but life did not turn out that way and 6 years later my second child was born. I was very ill and in and out of hospital. My husband did most of the child rearing. I could not breast feed - too painful and 6 year old son changed more nappies than I did. We also had a paid help for 7 hours a day. It was and is the best mistake I have ever made and we now have a 22 year old son I love and am very proud of.

When I was expecting my mother thought I should have an abortion but I had a lot of support from my husband.

Babies grow from love and care and I feel that you have already demonstrated that you are able to deliver on both. If you look at your own personal support network - people who are willing to help you when you aren't coping - Your answer will be there. X all the best

I had endo and wanted another child as I only had one. It was not to be, had to have a hysterectomy at 30. Then a few years later I started having symptoms of fibro. I will say that as you age your fibro symptoms will worsen. So many other "things" are related to this illness. I feel so bad for you having both at the same time. I pray that you are as well as you can be sweetheart!!! xxx Mitzi

I had very hard pregnancy. Unforgetable 9 months. I wasn't diagnose at that time but I am sure I was with Fibro. However, today I am Fibro free. It's happen as I started to diagnose myself recalling my past dig the reasons which put me in this position. As we all know, Fibro is a chronical disorder, means our own brain. If you go more deeper, it's our thoughts.

Changing the diat, changing the way I think, most importantly think positively, forgiving to the people who put me in that position, meditation, today I am happily pain free without any single pill. I am sure you are strong to make the change which you want. Get your life back, everything will be yours. If you need any help I would more than happy to help. I always thinking I should write seriously to help all of you...Good luck!!!!
