Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia Workbook

Do you want a workbook that can help you plan for the best pregnancy, delivery and first six weeks possible with fibromyalgia?

After being disappointed at the lack of information about pregnancy with Fibromyalgia when I had my first son, I set about writing up my experiences and researching as new information became available.

My second pregnancy ended up being a way better experience, despite high pain levels, because of the information I had. I knew I wasn’t alone. I knew what I could do to help myself. And that is mostly how we manage fibromyalgia, ourselves, day to day.

My third was my best yet!

(this course) “gave me the confidence to know I will cope and I will get through it.” – A Course Participant

This is the workbook that I wish existed when I was pregnant and exhausted and no doctor I saw could give me any idea of how to ease my pain. These are the templates I wish I had to help me plan my coping mechanisms.

I’m Melissa, author of Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia and MelissavsFibromyalgia.com – I have been sharing my experience and research about pregnancy with Fibromyalgia for five years now. I have been in the trenches of motherhood while fighting Fibromyalgia and it’s hard – I want to make it easier by providing the information that wasn’t available when I started my baby journey.

Here’s what you get:

• Seven information sheets packed full of tips from my experience and research
• Four printable templates for creating your own plans
• All five lesson sheets, infomation sheets and templates with space to write notes - 42 pages! 
• Every lesson has a list for further reading
• PLUS an invitation to join the Fibro Mama Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia Facebook group – we chat pregnancy with Fibromyalgia every day!

You will read all of the information I provide and then create YOUR OWN pain management plans, plans for the third trimester, delivery and the first six weeks.

This workbook saves you the time and energy I had to waste to find this information when I was pregnant.
