There's some of us on this board who have discussed it earlier - check some of the older pages. I have an 18 month old son, and I am 3 months pregnant now. I am managing pregnancy and IBS OK. The fatigue in the first trimester was gruelling, but I like everybody else survived. Yes, I had added nausea (worse than regular IBS) but I found some strategies that helped. Mostly sticking to Heather's diet, lots of tea, eating smaller more frequent "meals" helped a lot. Also, I had to be very careful for what I ate - no treats. But, the good news is, when in my second trimester with Liam, my IBS almost completely disappeared (I'm IBS-D). The baby pushes on your system and compresses it and slows it all down - which means hallelujah for IBS-D's. It can mean more trouble for IBS-C though. Not that I've experienced that. If you have more specific questions, ask away. And look up the old posts.
