Reynaud's and Nursing

I had cramping with my first pregnancy. My Ob/Gyn told me to take bedrest for a few days with a heating pad on my stomach. She said it would increase blood flow and help the fetus attach. I didn't know at that time that I had Reynaud's. A couple of years agoI was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but my doctor says there is something else going on too. I believe my mother had undiagnosed Scleroderma based on what I have researched so I won't be surprised if they diagnose it. I did have a difficult time nursing my first child. They told me my daughter wasn't latching on correctly. Eventually, either the pain went away or I just got learned to block it out. I nursed my first child 18 months and my second child 24 months.
