So today marks 10 weeks into my pregnancy….There’s so many things that I knew happened in pregnancy but I didn’t know they happened this early on!!

For example, I’m so out of breath all the time it’s getting annoying. I walk upstairs and I need to rest - part of that is the fibromyalgia, but it’s definitely noticeably getting worse.
My body is changing every day and I already can’t fit into most of my jeans, I’ve just bought new bra’s and already they’re feeling too tight!

All in all the body stuff I can cope with, I have flu at the moment which is a bit of a struggle seeing as I’m asthmatic, the aches are making the fibro worse and I can’t take anything for it because it could harm baby.
What I’m not coping so well with is this huge feeling of being unprepared. I feel like I have nothing sorted, but I don’t know what I need to sort out!
There’s things like my boyfriend and I are going to move in together, but I need to find someone to take my current room before we can know when we can move. I suppose I’m not crazily freaking out about this cause we’ve decided to move by September in time for the third trimester….but I still don’t know where to begin with this.
Maternity clothes - well they’re just god awful! There is not a single maternity shop that sells clothes I like. So far I think my plan is to buy some cheap clothes a couple of sizes too big and then create some ruched sides myself.

On top of all that….this is a baby! I don’t know how my body is going to cope over the next few months, and after all that I have delivery, and then a little baby that needs me!
I’m pretty scared at the moment as there’s not much info out there, that I can find, about pregnancy and fibromyalgia. The normal pregnancy fears I can learn to deal with, but with the fibro I just have to take each day as it comes….

Check back in a couple of weeks when I should have a scan pic to show you :)

Today is the first day since finding out I’m pregnant that I’ve felt really awful with the fibro too.

I can’t tell what symptoms are the pregnancy and what are the fibro?!!
I’m so tired that I swear I’ve fallen asleep with my eyes open a few times today already. I can’t stand for more than 10 minutes or my knees, hips and tummy start aching severely.

To top it all off I have a huge case of fibrofog so in general I’m coming across a little weird to those around me.

It alao doesn’t help that I am in a foul mood…this could be hormones, lack of sleep or that fact that I was so wound up by a manager yesterday that I really don’t want to have to work.

All in all I’m not feeling great. At least tomorrow some decisions can be made as I find out how far I am at my first scan.
