My friend felt wonderful during her entire pregnancy. The fibromyalgia disappeared until four months after delivery.

I have two girls (11 years apart) and my first pregnancy I was experiencing Fibro symptoms but not as badly as when I was pregnant with my last one (who is now 15 months old). My first pregnancy was awesome, I felt great, ate great, and lived it up. My second child, I was sick in the beginning, lost a lot of weight from getting off my meds and having severe morning sickness and my pain was not good. I managed it all the way until my 8th month and then I started experiencing severe pain in my back to where I though I had kidney stones. My doctors ended up putting me on Norco for the last three weeks of my pregnancy and my daughter was born healthy with no problems due to the Norco. First pregnancy I had a vaginal birth (it was horrible, took me over a year to heal) and my symptoms got worse afterwards. My second child, I opted for a C-Section, it was amazing compared to the first one. I wish I had a c-section the first time. The healing was not bad at all and my pain from the birth was not bad at all. My fibro pain amped up this year, but probably due to lack of sleep for having to care for a child through the night and not getting much rest. I am still in a lot of pain daily, but I will tell you, no matter what you go through, they are worth every inch of it. Our bodies are different and you may have a totally different experience than any of us, but keep strong and don't stress over it, stress is not good for you or the babe. Congratulations.

congratulations. Pregnancy has been known to relieve certain types of pain issues. An example would be endometriosis. Maybe you can relief from fibro!??!! Keeping my fingers crossed.
