[@crystalherndon1793]

I love your realness! Wish I was pregnant through more of these videos...now I watch and I'm just like yeeesss!!! Was just talking about hormones AFTER pregnancy and no one warns you about the AFTER and it was the most hormonal time for me! lol Thank you for sharing!

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Crystal Smith Your so right! no one really talks about after either and they should!!!

[@lilpooh5555]

I love your videos. Please continue to be honest. My boyfriend use to laugh when I peed on myself when I was pregnant. I have fibromyalgia too! You are great!

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+lilpooh5555 Oh I definitely will!!!! I especially plan to be extremely open about birth and postpartum because I hear things from close friends when I beg them to tell me the crap no one tells you and then I watch stuff on youtube and I am like why is no one telling people this!!!!??????!!!!!!

[@lilpooh5555]

+FibroFightingBarbie I agree. People didn't tell me about the after part of giving birth. And I carried my breast pump everywhere I went. Saved my life!!

[@shishteressheshutes2385]

Omg I was laughing so bad when you was telling your pooping stories... Haha. :D

[@shirleyblazer5051]

Lol. You make me smile, turning over in bed got to me. I had a towel & also had to have a pillow between my knees. Try a Slushy from Sonic & have your camera ready. She will let you know fast it's COLD! Let us know please

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Shirley Blazer Oh man I know what you mean! I sleep with a pillow between mine too but flipping over is a huge task sometimes. Its so uncomfortable!

[@shirleyblazer5051]

Can you get a maternity girdle? Some support might help. I had to wear one because I fell hard about 6 months & it did help

[@OnlyGabby19]

my first 4 month's I lost 58 lbs. didn't know I was pregnant, almost 9 years later healthy boy lol!! Can't wait to see him!!

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+PhyaLily Montano Thank you!

[@alejandra14anahi]

OMG Heather i cant believe you are so far ahead Now , im 14 weeks And 4 days Now And i cant wait to get a real bump. I've lost weight but my clothes fit tighter also I can totally relate to that, and this early on I also run out of breath when speaking so fast over the phone all day at work .

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Alejandra Pineda 14 weeks!!!! AHHH!!! thats so exciting!!!!!

[@patriciasil2119]

The pee part is just hilarious...I' m 15 weeks and not lookin forward to peeing myself hahaha you look soo beautiful!!! ♥

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Patricia Ayunta Thank you! you're getting close to peeing yourself point girl! LOL My first time was 16 weeks I was trying to feed the dogs before I ran to the bathroom so I was holding my pee a little and then I sneezed and peed all over myself! LOL dont hold pee whatever you do because you cant trust a sneeze or a cough!

[@JanaD1985]

Hahaha!!! I love your honesty !

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Jana Van Kasteren Thank you!

[@gailhouston5876]

Just remember.....you dribble when pregnant and again once you've reached menopause age. No one tells us as young women that we have to have a pad strapped to us even after we are over the hill like I am LOL. Just passing it on now so you'll know it happens later as you age. I know....I'm just a ray of sunshine but hey at least you have a heads up early LOL. Awesome vlog....you look totally radiant and I'm so glad you and Jackson are doing so well. Hugs n love oxo :)

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

Hey I appreciate that info Gail! I'd rather know than be suprised by it later. I feel like more people should be honest and open about these things. I watch bumpdates and its all unicorns and rainbows, I want to know everything! Not just the magical stuff! Lol

[@laimeh01]

TMI!! So funny tho!!

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

Bumpdates will always be a little TMI :) I feel like someone has to be real about pregnancy LOL! ;)

[@BekC0102]

Oh, the joys of being prego lol I laughed out loud at almost shitting your pants and squeezing your butt cheeks, but girl we've all been there lol Sooooo glad to hear you and baby are doing good!! And yes, enjoy those movements..... Does he wake you up at night from being a mad man? Lol Your belly is the cutest!! Take care and much love Heather!!

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Becky cebreros oh yes he has been keeping me up at night recently. He gets so active!!! LOL!

[@slaymarie_rdh_2B]

i laughed at my fiancee's joke and i wee'd a little. I told him it was just a little but he still taunted me like we were 1st graders lol it was so embarraing.

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+She Dot LOL! Men are the worst about teasing sometimes, maybe if they had a baby kicking and sitting on their bladder they wouldn't find it so amusing! I remember the 1st time it happened I was mortified for Justin to know, now I am like screw it and make jokes about it with him!

[@slaymarie_rdh_2B]

+FibroFightingBarbie lol that's love!

[@kristinliving7885]

drink cold water

[@doggydog1817]

Hahaha! I just love your updates. They are the best So i have a question for you. I have fibromyalgia too, so I know first hand the anxiety and depression that comes with it. Did you ever take medication for that? I only ask because I'm on antidepressants, and I've always been worried about what I'll do when I'm ready to have kids, since you can't be on most meds while pregnant.

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+Anna Priore I used to take 2 types of anxiety medications and I had to have a period where we stopped TTCing because of the meds. I took them for PTSD after I went through a traumatic situation where I almost lost my life several times. Once I thought I was ready I got off them again so we could continue trying to have a family. It was hard and it is still hard at times because pregnancy has made my anxiety so much worse sometimes but I did continue therapy and use the tools I learned with therapy to get through. Now depression might not be as easy to deal with because you dont want to just stop medication unless your truly able to and ready. I would talk to your doctor about whats safe whats not ahead of time before starting so maybe you can try different medication and see how you do. :)

[@missrugbyaust]

I've got fibro, anxiety and depression and I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I was taken off cymbalt and changed to Prozac before I started trying. My husband loves how my mental health has improved yet before the pregnacy I was getting back pain that I hadn't experienced in 8 years. I find getting a great medical team involved before you get pregnant is really important with the fibro and mental health issues, psychologist, psychiatrist, pregnacy Physio etc. (here in Australia there aren't really anyone who treats fibro, which is very annoying)

[@doggydog1817]

FibroFightingBarbie Thanks girl :) You're an inspiration.

[@doggydog1817]

missrugbyaust Good luck with your pregnancy :) It's nice to know you can still receive treatment while pregnant.

[@missrugbyaust]

It's weird we are due almost within days of each other and both have fibro yet I'm not really experiencing any of the same symptoms as you. Mine could be that my torso is 3 inches longer than most women. I've been experiencing a lot of stress with random crap. But the only main fibro issue has been vision is going crazy.

[@FibroFightingBarbie]

+missrugbyaust my doctor said one of 3 things happen when a woman with fibro is pregnant. The most common being her symptoms actually improve, then some stay the same then like me others get worse. Apparently each pregnancy is different as well, like if you or I have another pregnancy mine could improve or yours could be worse. I found it really interesting! All I had ever heard was people saying they got some relief during pregnancy so I had high hopes, I was so disappointed I fell into the worse category but I am happy I have a doctor who is so knowledgeable.

[@missrugbyaust]

+FibroFightingBarbie my midwife asked me who treats my fibro, I had to laugh in her face. I said there is only one specialist who is about 9 hour drive away, a few specialists who treat Cfs here in Sydney who are more research area and other than that they are in the USA. Compared to not being pregnant I would wake up and wonder if it was going to be a mental health or fibro day and now it's is it mental health, fibro or pregnancy. It's mostly mental health dramas while being pregnant
