i had fibro with my second child, (and possibly my first but not as sure).
i had alot of problems with synthis pubis and if my legs parted my hips dislocated! however, i also have spine problems, so the combination of both problems made me wheelchair bound for the second half pregnancy.
luckily you can take codiene saftley during pregnancy so i managed somewhat with pain relief.
the exhaustion was extreme in the first trimester, however on a positive note i have a beautiful daughter to show for it!!
I've been pregnant with Fibro, but mine was under control so that I could come off almost all meds beforehand.
You need to see your GP asap to discuss your medications. Be aware that the BNF (the book on drugs usually used by NHS GPs) takes a very cautious line on medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
You should really be put under consultant led care for this pregnancy as you may well need some medications.
Just wanted to say many many congratulations and wish you all the very best for the future as parents, which I believe is a real privilege and also such hard work, especially with problems such as FM. Will I am sure be worth it all! xx
What great news, congratulations!! What an exciting time, I hope all goes well for you all.
Many congratulations Tammy, that's wonderful news!
