Congratulations, so happy for you glad to hear you are feeling better. Please let me know if I can help in any way

Congrats on the pregnancy, Catra !

I'm glad to her that the new severe pain/?rsd flare seems to be behind you. I'd love to hear that you have one of the famous pregnancy remission stories to tell us next :winky:

I would love to be able to tell one of those stories too! ;)

I honestly get frustrated sometimes by the lack of info out there when it comes to things like that and if I experience remission...or even if I don't...I want to document the whole thing as much as I can to try and help others.

So far no remission or anything like that...but I haven't really experienced a worsening of symptoms either (a good sign right) with the exception that the pain in my torso has increased from what it was prior to the pregnancy (but loads better than it was when I went to the ER). My stomach is already getting large so I'm assuming that increased pain and burning has a lot to do with just the fact that things are moving, stretching, and shifting. Clothes are also tighter and more form fitting in the tummy area...which is sensitive to touch so the increased burning pain makes sense with that too.

I will do my best to keep everyone posted and am keeping a journal of my experience in the hopes that at least some of the information will be helpful to someone else down the line you has RSD/CRPS.

Was just thinking of you. Hoping everything is still going well with your pregnancy.

:D

So far so good...except that I am HUGE already and I am just 12 weeks along today...I've been in maternity clothes for 2 weeks already and unless I wear VERY loose tops I definitely look pregnant. I am actually going for my 12 week ultrasound and a test today in a couple of hours.

I've been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks because my boyfriend doesn't want to announce anything until after 12 weeks once we know that everything is going well. I miscarried last year very early and he keeps thinking about that and doesn't want to announce anything just in case. Me? I want to shout from the rooftops because I am SO excited and happy...but I'm honoring his request to wait on announcing anything. That said...I am visiting my parents on May 24th and I have a cute announcement plan for them.

I will post back after my appointment today. Thanks for thinking of me. :)

Everything was perfect with the little one at my ultrasound today. I'm right on track with everything...baby was VERY active...heart rate was strong...spinal fluid was good...nothing at all to worry about. They drew some blood and those results won't be back until next week...but so far everything looks great.

:hug:I'm sorry for your discomfort...and happy for you and your little one being okay. Drink lots of fluids, eat good and healthy food and relax.:) Congrats!

Have you told anyone but us?? My sister told me after she took home tests...she couldn't wait

Great news!!
