Q: Having a baby with chronic pain- how is it??

Hi there, just stumbled on this great site and read Nicoles story about having a baby with chronic pain.It is such a relief to find someone who has gone through it - as Nicole says it actually quite difficult to find people who want to share their experiences, I am at the start of this whole adventure with chronic pain in my right leg from nerve damage I've had for the past 9 years and so far have found little support from family members who also think I am selfish to put a baby through that! which only made me feel angry! I do have a very supportive husband Mikey who needs to know more info about possible effects of not being on certain meds and the effects on the baby before we start trying!

any more info anyone can give would be very much appreciated,

cheer, Kate

Hi Kate,  I'm so excited for you!  A baby is such a wonderful blessing.  And having a supportive husband makes all the difference in the world. 

 

We have a great thread on Pregnancy, Motherhood and Chronic Pain in our forum.  It was started by Nicole and there are lots of contributions from others who are or are hoping to be pregnant.  Read through the several pages of discussion already there then feel free to join the discussion, share your concerns and ask questions.

(Note:  If you've never been to the forum before, you'll have to register separately from your registration here on ChronicPainConnection.  You can, however, use the same e-mail address and password if you like to make it easier to remember.)

 

I wish you and your husband the best!  – Karen
