Hi Sultrysnow, Nindy and Kate,

Thanks for your reply. I know I have already said this but it's good to know that there are a few of us out there who are dealing with chronic pain, tramadol and pregnancy. This is meant rudely but healthy people don't get it. They try to, but unless you have experienced it yourself you can't really understand. Were/are the doctors worried about you guys and pregnancy? The doctors are a bit worried about me, well there are quite a few potential issues but doctors always seem to be over cautious with me. One issue is that I already have high blood pressure (controlled with medication) but as you probably know that makes you more likely to get high blood pressure when you are pregnant. Also being on prednisolone can make you more likely to get diabetes while you are pregnant. Prednisolne can make you break you waters early. Also just the fact that I am pregnant and my body dealing with that, and how that will effect my arthritis. I think there could be more but I can't think of them all. Did you guys get told you might have issues like that? Have any of you had children already? I don't think you have. Nindy, hang in there I imagine IVF would be quite challenging and upsetting. I am sure it will happen for you. Thanks for your posts (think that's what they are called) it was nice to hear I am a good mother already and the baby isn't even born yet. I am only seven weeks but I feel great better than normal I think. I haven't really had any morning sickness or nausea. Anyway better go i am writing an essay.


Cheers,
Shirani
