Thank you all for your answers, its been very insightful. Not having children isn’t an option but you’ve all helped me understand that having a support network is important. I think if i didn’t have children i would resent myself forever. My husband is very supportive and i have family who could provide help and support. I feel that to give up on my dream of being a mother would be letting this illness completely destroy my life. I know it won’t be easy but it would break my heart to not have a family of my own. I wish you all well and send gentle hugs as a thank you x

I had my 3rd child after years of suffering with fibro, I didn't plan him but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I had 2 teenage girls to help me. Thank God! It was bad the first 2 weeks but having a baby gives you the strength to get out of bed and brings so much jy that yu can live with the pain. Good luck and prayer helps alot

Thankfully when it came on I already had my babies. Its a struggle with my grand baby. Each person's experience is their own. Days I can't drag myself across the room but when my grand baby comes, I reach down and find the strength to tend to her. Difference is she is going home. You know your strength, your support system and how bad you want to be a mom. If your goal is to be a mom, get the worries out of your head and like Nike says " just do it" your body will do what it needs to in order to give you what you need. Peace & Blessings

I'm in your same boat. We're probably going to start trying soon. Would love to hear more of your thoughts as you get them. I'm going into it fully relying on my husband and on Jesus and my community. I think if we can all be on the same page that I am not going to have my full energy all the time, and what that means practically, then I feel more hopeful.

I hadn't known I had this while being pregnant but the pregnancy went well it was just the labor that was the worst thing. Because of the fitique it hit harder and was the pain was worse than my first labor. I just take it easy and you should be OK.
