How do you survive being pregnant?

I have two wonderful grown sons. My pregnancies were the worst. I was sick the whole 9 months. My muscles hurt so much and my back was horrible. But I made it through and I'm so glad I went through with my second pregnancy after swearing never again. 9 months is a long time but not forever and you can get do it. I have heard some Fibro women say everything cleared up while they were pregnant. Never know. Knowing your body really well and what makes flares worse is very important. Read as much as you can on anything out there that can help you and your family understand what you are going through. Family support is crucial to your wellbeing and peace of mind. Pamper yourself even more while pregnant.

Melatonin 3mg really helped me get a good night sleep.

Really sorry to hear that. Are you able to sleep? What does your doctor suggest? What are you experiencing?

Great question! It really depends on the person. I know women living with fibromyalgia who had a tough pregnancy, and I also know some women who did better than expected. As soon as they knew they were pregnant, they changed their habits. I guess it depends of the severity of the illness as well as the individual. Looking forward to read other responses.
