I earlier responded saying I had no complications as I was only 9 weeks pregnant. I am now 4 months pregnant and my condition has worsened. My pancreas is unhappy most of the time. I am more bloated than normal and with the baby growing I have very little space to big up the gases inside so I have increased back pain and side pain.

I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis 8 months ago after having a beautiful daughter. I have always wanted more than 1 child but am afraid of the pain I may have to go thru with a pregnancy.
Has anyone found any relief from the pain or is it actually manageable? I am NOT pregnant now but my pancreas still flares up an average of 2 times a week and I have to take narcotics to get through the pain. I know I cannot take those perscriptions if pregnant so what do I do? How bad is it?
