“Tia Martin said ” My doctor warned me that because I have fibromyalgia all over my body that he wouldn’t suggest I get pregnant, Did anybody else doctor advice them not to get pregnant? Anyway, I told him its to late I’m pregnant.

I asked him why? Doc: Well Miss.Martin, we find people with fibromyalgia like yourself that has it all over….you will have a hard pregnancy, The further you get the harder it will be for you and the baby.

He said you’re in your early stage and if you decide that you didn’t want to keep the baby I would write up something for you, My thinking was how hard can it be compare to what I’m going through at the time, Running back and forward to the doctor at less 2 – 3 x days a week. Boy was he right, I love my son to death, but my pregnancy was the worst. The pain was 10 x worst, It was time I thought I wasn’t going to make it,  My asthma was worst. I threw up a lot due to me hurting so bad that it cause me to throw up, I stayed upstairs a lot.

 

I couldn’t walk down 2 flights of stairs to the basement anymore, My mother came over to help me with the cleaning and cooking for my 7 yr old daughter at the time and me. My dad came over from Toledo to Michigan to take me back and forward to the doctors 2 or 3 x a week in Ann Arbor, It was the longest 9 mos ever. I end up having emergency C-section because my son heart was abnormal. Every Time they try to feed him his heart would beat faster. They had him hookup to all kinds of machines, I.V and monitors. You can see his room and the machine behind my sister.

He couldn’t sleep or come in my room because he couldn’t be unhooked from the machines and monitors long. He had to get his own room because when the other babies would cry it would make his heart race also, For me after I had him I got very sick, Fever was high and I had a bad case of the chills. It was bad, but I would probably do it all over again for my Prince Kenneth. And his journey continue to go on…smart, health and amazing. Now, this his 1st year of high school.
