Are you wondering if your symptoms will be better or worse during pregnancy? If you’ll experience a flare-up after delivery? What nursing might be like? Have you thought about what coping mechanisms you’ll utilise during pregnancy?
Melissa shares what the research says, what she experienced in her four pregnancies with chronic pain and fatigue, and what other women shared in a survey.
After being disappointed at the lack of information about pregnancy with chronic pain and fatigue when I had my first son, I set about writing up my experiences and researching as new information became available.

“I found Melissa to write in a down-to-earth way that was engaging and encouraging, giving useful, manageable advice that you can actually use. Most importantly, I think, was the sense of support and hope she garners that you can indeed manage whatever life throws at you, that you can survive pregnancy and the ups and downs it may entail. I find this to be an invaluable resource and in inspirational source of encouragement, whether you know someone / a partner who deals with fibromyalgia who is pregnant, or whether you’re thinking of having a baby or are currently pregnant.”
