Hi all - firstly please forgive - I'm a newbie - for any faux pas I may make.

This is pregnancy no. 4. I had an emergency C-section - vbac of a 27 weeker then another emergency c-section. I also have fibromyalgia. It is my belief that the main trigger of the worst parts of the Fibro was labour number 2 - the VBAC. That said....pregnancy no. 3 started with a back ache that never went away - but I am blissfully awaiting those pregnancy hormones that take most of the fibro pain away except the back ache and the headaches which were constant during number 3.

First indicator of this pregnancy was the back ache. :S The week before my period was due - I had the usual 'symptoms' of an oncoming pregnancy - that lower back ache and kinda crampy feeling.

I'm about 7 weeks-ish - and that lower back ache ( different from the 'pregnant' back ache I get) and crampy feeling is still in evidence. It's actually quite painful.

I'm wondering if this is yet another symptom of fibromyalgia or if it's because of the two previous c-sections - or is it just me.!??! Who knows. It's uncomfortable anyway.

Does anyone else have this or have had this?

I've also taken Lyrica for the past 2 -3 months for the fibro pain - I've now stopped thank goodness - and my first scan is about 6 weeks or so away.

The morning sickness has only just kicked in and can be all day sickness. The cravings started about week 3 - I couldn't understand WHY I was craving chocolate - we're talking gimme chocolate or I'll rip yer head off here - thankfully that craving has abated somewhat - now it's mustard and I can't stand butter or margerine. I'm thinking this one may be a girl because it feels different from the other 3 who were boys.

any ideas will be useful.
