As a third time mama doing pregnancy with fibromyalgia I have been sharing my journey in case it helps you.
When I was pregnant for the first time in 2013, I would have loved to hear another mamas experience, read a book or take a course to help me cope.
In the absence of these things, I created my own.

Here’s my week 23 pregnancy with fibromyalgia diary.
A brief overview
At week 23 baby is the size of a large mango. I experienced a bit of a growth spurt over the weekend (I show you the bump)!
Bubby is kicking up a storm which helps me to know he’s all good.
I am off work sick for three weeks as the symphysis pubis disorder has really run me down. Walking, sitting and sleeping are difficult.
I am still super thankful to be sleeping better than before low dose naltrexone.
