I am just the opposite...I felt FANTASTIC while I was pregnant. That is, except for the morning sickness. Both times after having my girls though I had to go back on my meds.

It was totally worth it though ~ they are truly wonderful kids!

Sorry i cant be of any help with this topic, my fibro started after i had my kids. My kids are 14 and 16. I had endometriosis real bad and had a total hysterectomy, both ovaries, cervix, everything when i was 30 because of the polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis. I really believe now it was the fibro causing all the pain and actually not PCOS and endometriosis.

Hugs and good luck.....Alicia

Hi....I fall on the side of feeling better when I was pregnant, and I did have FM then. I felt like a placid cow....much diminished pain, no mood swings, and a jump in my libido! Post morning sickness, of course. (Here's a tip: no matter how good tomato juice looks when you have morning sickness, when it comes back up, be prepared to think you have a bleeding ulcer....if you get my drift. I managed to scare myself half to death with that one!)

As for the menstrual cramps, my older sister had them so bad that every month she would lay in bed in a fetal position and would usually throw up from the pain. After she had her first baby, the severe cramps disappeared. I don't know if ALL cramps went away, but she was so relieved, she never complained if she had mild ones. Best of luck.
